nelliesnursery Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Hi everyone, I wondered if I can pick your brains! Wanting to use picket fences as internal room dividers, but cannot seem to find any that are rustic wood looking. If people have this type of thing, where did you get it from please? Thanks, Victoria
Stargrower Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Would they be fixed permanently? If so, I'd go to your local fencing supplier and tell them what you want. If you want natural wood fencing, you'd have to make sure it was planed and smooth to avoid splinters.
WinifredBam Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Hello, Not sure if this is of any help, but I have had a similar idea for inside our packaway and have been looking at Early Years Resources, they have rather colourful ones, I'm still looking natural or white. Hopefully this link will work: http://www.earlyyearsresources.co.uk/furniture-c24/room-dividers-partitions-c74/picket-fence-p16780
lsp Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Amazon. Sorry not sure how to do the link. Search freestanding picket fence. May not be sturdy enough but comes in different heights.
finleysmaid Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 any good.... http://www.cosydirect.com/self-standing-picket-fences-4-set.html
nelliesnursery Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks all for your replies. I feel quite torn on free-standing vs. permanant. Obviously free-standing has the advantage that it's movable and less permanant, however does anyone have any thoughts on the negatives of the feet element of free-standing? I am concerned that they may cause a trip hazard, and how sturdy are they when children bash into them, or for example when a baby pulls himself/herself up on one of them? I never knew picket fencing could cause me such a headache!!!!!!!!!!
finleysmaid Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 HA...you could try this ::1a http://www.cosydirect.com/picket-fencing-canvas.html 1
narnia Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Try B &Q .................you could fix flat struts on the bottom to keep them standing.......................
Greenfinch Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 We looked at this once and rejected it for the same reasons. Most room dividers seem to have quite 'trippy' base stands when we were investigating although this was a while ago so maybe there are more choices now.
Lois Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Not picket fencing, but Wesco do natural wood room dividers - they call them barrier kits. We use Community Playthings Roomscape panels which are really versatile as you can attach them to Community Playthings furniture, walls or each other. They aren't cheap but they're beautiful and last forever. 1
Lois Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Going back to what someone added about trip hazards - we do have a Wesco 'fence' which is two panels hinged in the middle. We've had it years since before we got into community Playthings. I did use to worry about the feet being a trip hazard but actually they never were
