The fence shown infigure 45may be constructed with flat pickets, three inches wide and three feet five inches long. The notches in the pickets are easilymade with a compass saw, or a foot-power scroll-saw. The top and bottom pieces between the pickets may be painted some other color than the fence, if so desired. Any carpenter should be able to construct it at a small advance over a fence made from plain pickets, making the pattern as infigure 46.
A plainer, but still very neat form of picket fence is illustrated atfigure 47. The intermediate pieces are notched at one end and square at the other.
