Overview
What Is a Extended Pickets Aluminum Fence?
An extended pickets aluminum fence features pickets that project significantly above the top rail — typically by 6-12 inches — creating tall, exposed finial points that rise well above the panel's structural rail. This extended profile makes the fence appear taller and more forbidding than its installed height would suggest, and the exposed tips provide a formidable climbing barrier.
Extended picket aluminum is used extensively in commercial applications — around commercial properties, parking lots, and industrial facilities — but has also gained popularity in high-security residential settings in Houston where homeowners want maximum deterrence without installing a solid privacy fence that blocks sightlines.
Why Aluminum? Advantages Over Iron & Vinyl
Extended picket panels are engineered for rigidity — the longer exposed picket section above the rail creates a cantilever load, so Mustang Fencing uses heavier-wall aluminum tubing (0.083-inch wall vs standard 0.065-inch) and closer post spacing for extended picket installations. All hardware is marine-grade stainless steel.
All aluminum panels are fabricated from commercial-grade 6061-T6 alloy extruded profiles. Posts are 2" x 2" square aluminum tube set in 36-inch concrete footings. All hardware is marine-grade stainless steel — no rust, ever.
Key Benefits
Maximum Deterrence
Pickets extending 6-12 inches above the rail create visible, aggressive tips that are a strong psychological and physical barrier against unauthorized entry.
Commercial-Grade Build
Heavier wall aluminum tubing and closer post spacing ensure the extended picket configuration has the rigidity and strength required for high-security applications.
Height Impression
A 5-foot extended picket fence looks and feels like a 6-foot fence. The projecting tips create a visual height impression that exceeds the actual installed height.
Zero Rust — Ever
Aluminum does not rust. Unlike iron or steel, which need repainting every 3-5 years in Houston's humid climate, aluminum maintains its finish for decades.
Powder-Coat Finish
Electrostatic powder coating in any RAL color. Matte black and bronze are the most popular choices in Houston. UV-stable, chip-resistant, and Houston-weather ready.
