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 segement of the fence (i.e. 1 tile in the game) requires 6 wooden stakes.
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.
