What is a fence?

A fence is a structure that is used to enclose an area or boundary, typically made of wood, metal, or wire. It can be used for various purposes such as providing security, privacy, and aesthetic appeal to a property. Fences can be constructed in a wide variety of styles and sizes, ranging from simple picket fences to large chain-link enclosures. Different types of fences are used for different purposes, such as agricultural fences used for the protection of crops, pool fences used for safety purposes around swimming pools, and decorative fences used for aesthetic purposes. Fences are also commonly used to keep pets and livestock contained within a certain area. Maintenance of fences is necessary to ensure their longevity, and they may require cleaning, painting or staining, and occasional repairs or replacements.
