Connecticut's Finest
Cedar Picket Fences,
Handcrafted for Your Home
Cedar picket fencing brings warmth, character, and natural beauty to any property. At Arrow Fence Inc., our in-house craftsmen have been building custom cedar picket fences throughout Connecticut since 1979, cutting and shaping every board in our own Route 66 workshop so your fence fits perfectly from day one. Whether you're dreaming of a classic picket or a richly stained custom design, we make it happen.
A Fence With Character
That Only Grows With Time
There's a reason Northern White Cedar picket fencing has been a Connecticut staple for generations. Northern White Cedar carries natural oils that resist rot, insects, and moisture without the need for chemical treatments, making it one of the most durable and environmentally responsible choices you can make for your property. Over time, unfinished cedar weathers to a distinguished silver-grey patina, while stained finishes hold beautifully for years with minimal upkeep.
At Arrow Fence Inc., we've been building Northern White Cedar picket fences since 1979, and we've refined every detail over more than four decades of hands-on work. Our craftsmen fabricate every component right in our Route 66 workshop in East Hampton, so your pickets are cut true, your rails are straight, and your gates swing the way they should on day one. We don't buy pre-made panels and assemble them on site. We build your fence from scratch, matched to your land.
Whether you want a classic 3-foot white picket defining a cottage garden or a 5-foot stained Northern White Cedar enclosure keeping your pets safely in the yard, our team takes the time to understand what you need and build it right. Every post is set deep and square, every picket is spaced and aligned by hand, and every gate is hung with hardware rated for years of daily use. When you choose Arrow Fence, you're choosing a fence that will still look great when the neighbors replace theirs twice.
The Right Fence for Almost Any Setting
Cedar picket fencing is one of the most versatile styles we install. Here are just a few of the ways Connecticut homeowners put it to work.
A classic cedar picket fence running along the front of your property instantly adds curb appeal and a welcoming sense of boundary. We build them to complement your home's architecture, whether traditional, colonial, or contemporary.
Cedar picket is a favorite for kitchen gardens and flower beds. It keeps deer and rabbits out while letting in plenty of light and air. We can add welded wire mesh behind the pickets for extra critter protection.
Clearly defining your lot with a cedar picket fence gives your whole property a polished, cared-for appearance. We handle straight runs, curved corners, and transitions up or down grade so the fence follows your land naturally.
Our custom picket designs, including alternating heights, decorative ball caps, arched sections, and distinctive stain colors, turn an ordinary boundary into a genuine design feature for your yard.
A well-built cedar picket fence gives pets a defined, safe area to enjoy the outdoors. We size the picket spacing and fence height to suit your specific animals, and build the gates with heavy-duty latches that dogs can't nudge open on their own.
Cedar picket is the natural fit for New England's older homes and historic districts. We work with homeowners to design fences that honor the character of the property, from hand-pointed gothic tops to arched gate entries with period-appropriate hardware.
Built to Your Vision,
Not Off a Catalog Page
Because we fabricate everything in our own workshop, we can cut pickets to any top profile, mix heights for a stepped or arched look, and match any rail style or post cap you have in mind. We stock a range of premium stains and clear sealers so you can go rich and warm, clean and white, or anything in between.
Gates are often where custom craftsmanship shows most. We build every gate frame square and sturdy, hang it with heavy-duty hardware that won't sag, and fit it with the latch style that makes sense for your use, from a simple ring latch to a self-closing pool-code magna latch. Tell us what you're imagining and we'll figure out how to build it.

Six Reasons Homeowners
Choose Cedar
Cedar picket fencing isn't just good-looking. It delivers real, lasting value that synthetic materials simply can't match.
Boosts Property Value
A quality cedar picket fence is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase the value of your home. Buyers in Connecticut recognize real wood craftsmanship, and a well-built fence signals pride of ownership throughout the property.
Naturally Rot-Resistant
Northern white cedar contains natural oils called thujaplicins that fight rot, fungal growth, and insect damage from the inside out. The wood itself is built to last, especially in the wet New England climate.
Low Maintenance
Cedar doesn't demand constant attention. A fresh coat of stain or sealer every few years keeps it looking sharp, and minor repairs are straightforward since individual pickets can be replaced without disturbing the whole fence.
Fully Customizable
No two Arrow Fence cedar picket fences are exactly alike. Height, picket style, spacing, finish, gate design, and hardware are all decisions you make. We build what you want, not what fits a standard mold.
Lightweight & Workable
Cedar is one of the lightest structural woods, making it easier to install cleanly on slopes, around curves, and in tight spaces. This also means less stress on your fence posts over time, helping the structure stay plumb and solid for longer.
A Connecticut Tradition
Cedar picket fencing has defined New England yards for centuries, and for good reason. It fits the landscape, suits the climate, and complements the architecture of homes across the region. Choosing cedar means choosing a fence with genuine roots in the place you call home.
