Abstract: A picket fence panel comprising at least two post members aligned substantially vertical and spaced apart is disclosed. A plurality of pickets are aligned substantially vertical to the post members. Each of the pickets have an upper end, a lower end, an upper bore located proximate to the upper end and a lower bore located proximate to the lower end. An upper c-shaped rail and a lower c-shaped rail is also provided. Each rail is aligned and mounted between the post members and has a plurality of paired openings to accept the plurality of pickets. A corresponding plurality of aperture openings are located along each of the upper and lower c-shaped rail. Each aperture has at least two flaps hingedly deposed thereon. First and second rod members extend substantially over the length of the upper and lower c-shaped rail and engage the plurality of pickets and the aperture openings.
