A fence is a structure that encloses an area, typically outdoors. It is usually constructed from posts that are connected by boards, wire, rails, or netting. Fences serve various purposes, such as:
Privacy: Blocking the view into or out of an area.
Security: Preventing unauthorized entry.
Safety: Keeping people and animals safe by creating a boundary.
Decoration: Enhancing the appearance of a property.
Common materials used for fences include wood, metal, vinyl, and stone.
