Fences are structures that are passable by all pawns except farm animals, and can be used in combination with walls, doors, and fence gates to enclose a pen.

Acquisition

The fence constructed out of  1 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 10 for SMVs).

Summary

In combination with the above mentioned structures, the fence is used to enclose a pen. Be aware that predatorial animals can enter pens by jumping over.

Analysis

Fences provide a cheaper and more accessible way of creating a pen (colonists can walk over to do what they need to do, unlike walls), but have the weakness of enabling predators to eat your farm animals.
