Fences are structures constructed to enclose or divide land, typically made from wood, metal, stone, or composite materials. They serve multiple purposes including marking property boundaries, providing privacy, containing animals, and enhancing security. Common fence types include picket, panel, post-and-rail, and mesh varieties. Fence choice depends on intended purpose, local regulations, budget, climate, and aesthetic preferences. Properly installed fences require appropriate foundations, regular maintenance such as painting or staining, and periodic repair to withstand weather and wear.
