Fence
Fences are used to keep curious people off your land (and items), or to keep your animals from escaping.

Requirements
The building of a single segment of the fence (i.e. 1 tile in the game) requires 6 wooden stakes and 4ft of tying equipment.
Disassembling and damage
Fences can be deconstructed to recover the building materials, and they can also be kicked apart with any attack if you are in a hurry (wooden stakes will be destroyed).
Usage in trapping
Fences can be used as a trap-fence, which blocks the way of most large animals and guides them straight into a trap, usually a trap pit. The player must climb over them, and NPCs and some animals are also capable of climbing fences.
In the "Traps" menu Alt+r there is the "Build trap-fence" option, that makes the exact same fence as the "Fence" in the "Building options" menu.
