Fences can also be covered in a Camo Net for more concealment and can also have Barbed Wire mounted to one or both of the panel sections using Pliers.

Players can also construct platforms and stairs behind the fence wall, allowing sight over the wall without needing to leave the structure. Additionally, s can be modified with Metal Wire and Pliers to construct a Gate for entry and exit into a survivor's base.
