Default Another old product source -- rolled picket fence

Okay, here's another formerly quite common product can't seem to locate
a current source for--white painted roll picket fence. Like the red
snow fence in construction, except pre-painted and w/ a pointed tip on
the picket (some call it "Gothic"). Here's a picture of it except is
only 2-ft high and need 4-ft high to replace existing.

http://greenesfence.com/Merchant2/me...roduct_Count=1

Tried contacting Greenes Fence to see about a special order, perhaps,
but not only a "no, can't/won't do that", but absolutely no response or
even acknowledgement. Guess I'll try again by phone and get told that
I'm barking up the wrong tree there tomorrow...

Meanwhile, anybody seen any of this anywhere, I'd surely like to know
where -- guess that I'm getting to be an old fogey is becoming
obvious...

Thanks, I'd found them once some time before but for some reason my
searches yesterday didn't pinpoint them -- I'll be sure to make a
bookmark this time.

They're a fair distance, but so far they're only one w/ the 4' white so
may be only choice. I'd forgotten but a year or so ago I e-mailed them
asking about distributors but never got a response--guess I'll try
phone this time as getting closer to actually doing something.

OK, got answer back from American Fence this AM -- unfortunately, since
they're in Galveston/Houston area, that's a pretty fur piece away.
Shipping appears to be going to nearly double the cost unless can find
a closer distributor/manufacturer to the mid-high plains region.
Anybody else seen/know of a supplier? Find it somewhat surprising
given the cost of other fencing these days this isn't a much more
popular option still...
