You can come close. A close-picket fence can be mixed pretty
transparently with a alternating pickets. A neighbor on one side
replaced the fence (it was probably "mine" but did it before I moved
in) with alternating pickets. It doesn't look that bad.

Not only, but an alternating-picket fence is much less likely to get blown
down in a hurricane (much of the wind can actually go THROUGH the fence).

You are correct. It's really a good fence, though I'd probably spend a little
more and move the pickets a little closer than 50%; more privacy.
