What can I do with a bunch of fence pickets?

by Stephanie Ann

I took down a wooden privacy fence and have a ton of pockets begging to be repurposed/upcycled.


I’ve made a shelf, headboard and picture frame; now I need more ideas!

    Accent wall


    "Hide" a/c unit outside or anything else that is unsightly but still needs access and air flow

    You can cut the length of the pickets down and use them for wainscoting.

    I have one for each of my children, the town they live in & how many miles, plus some other towns that have significance to us. Then change them out on Halloween to scary places from horror movies, and at Christmas, to north pole candy cane lane ECT....

    I made a raised garden box. If you have any posts, you can use them for legs. I was going to use more to build bird houses, signs, picture frames, etc., but my husband decided I had too much "clutter" (humpf!) and threw them out!
