The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a player-built fortification in ''[[DayZ]]''.

== Structure ==
Fences are modular player-built walls used in constructing or fortifying a base. Consisting of one or two base frames made of [[Plank|wood]] and one to two panel sections made from either [[Plank|wood]] or [[Sheet Metal|sheet metal]]. 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, {{PAGENAME}}s can be modified with [[Metal Wire]] and [[Pliers]] to construct a '''Gate''' for entry and exit into a [[Survivors|survivor's]] base. The '''Gate''' can also have a [[Combination Lock]] attached to stop wandering survivors and bandits from walking in.

== Required Tools & Materials ==
Below is the list of [[Equipment]] and [[Resources]] required to build a basic {{PAGENAME}} with no optional attachments and sections.
{{#ev:youtube|8PuIu5Fzf-4|400|right|}}

=== Kit ===
{{ItemLinkBox|type = loot
 | name = Fence Kit
 | link = Fence Kit
 | img  = FenceKit.png
|}}
{{Clear|left}}

=== Tools ===
{{ItemLinkBox|type = weapon
 | name = Splitting Axe
 | img  = Splitting_Axe_SA.png
|| link = Splitting Axe}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = weapon
 | name = Shovel
 | img  = Shovel_SA.png
||link=Shovel}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = weapon
 | name = Pickaxe
 | img  = Pickaxe.png
||link=Pickaxe}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = weapon
 | link = Hammer
 | img  = Hammer2.png
 ||name=Hammer}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = weapon
 | name = Hatchet
 | img  = Hatchet.png
||link=Hatchet}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = weapon
 | name = Hacksaw
 | img  = Hacksaw1.png
||link=Hacksaw}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = weapon
 | name = Handsaw
 | img  = Handsaw.png
||link=Handsaw}}
{{Clear|left}}

Note: You will need one or the other of the Shovel and Pickaxe. The handsaw and hacksaw can be used to saw or make planks.

=== Resources & Materials ===
At a minimum a {{PAGENAME}} requires the following number of resources:

* ''2x'' [[Wooden log|Wooden logs]]
* ''18x'' [[Plank|Planks]] (''5x'' [[Wooden log|Wooden logs]])
* ''36x'' [[Nails]]

{{ItemLinkBox|type = resourcee
 | name = Wooden Log
 | link = Wooden Log
 | img  = Wooden log.png
|}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = resourcee
 | name = Planks
 | link = Plank
 | img  = WoodenPlanks.png
|}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = resourcee
 | name = Nails
 | link = Nails
 | img  = Nails.png
|}}
{{Clear|left}}

== Construction ==
=== Base ===
{|class="wikitable"
! style="background-color: #8c6a5c; color: white;" | Requires:
|- style="background-color: e67300;"
|
* [[Fence Kit]] ''<small>(Deployed)</small>''
* '''''2'''x'' [[Wooden Log]]
* [[Shovel]]
|}
Once a location has been selected for the {{PAGENAME}} and the [[Fence Kit]] has been deployed, attach the two [[Wooden log|wooden logs]] to the deployed Fence Kit. With a [[Shovel]], [[Farming Hoe]] or [[Pickaxe]] equipped, the option to construct the {{PAGENAME}} Base will become available.

=== Upper & Lower Frames ===
{|class="wikitable"
! style="background-color: #8c6a5c; color: white;" | Requires:
|- style="background-color: e67300;"
|
* [[Fence#Base|Fence Base]]
* '''''4'''x'' [[Plank|Planks]] <small>per Section</small>
* '''''8'''x'' [[Nails]] <small>per Section</small>
* [[Hammer]]/[[Hatchet]]
|}
With the {{PAGENAME}} Base constructed, attach the required amount of [[Plank|Planks]] and [[Nails]] to the fence, equip either a [[Hammer]] or [[Hatchet]] and the option to construct the frames will become available.

=== Upper & Lower Panels ===
<div style="border-style: dashed; border-width: 1px;">
<div style="padding-left: 5px;">
After the upper and/or lower frames have been built, the panels can be attached, completing the {{PAGENAME}}. Each panel section can be constructed from either wood or metal but not both. However, both panel sections need not be constructed with the same material, allowing [[Survivors]] to mix and match the paneling to their liking.

==== Wood Paneling ====
{|class="wikitable"
! style="background-color: #8c6a5c; color: white;" | Requires:
|- style="background-color: e67300;"
|
* [[Fence#Upper & Lower Frames|Upper or Lower Frame]]
* '''''5'''x'' [[Plank|Planks]] <small>per Section</small>
* '''''10'''x'' [[Nails]] <small>per Section</small>
* [[Hammer]]/[[Hatchet]]
|}
To complete the {{PAGENAME}}, attach the appropriate amount of [[Nails]] and [[Plank|Planks]] to the fence and begin construction with the [[Hammer]] or [[Hatchet]] in hand.

==== Metal Paneling ====
{|class="wikitable"
! style="background-color: #8c6a5c; color: white;" | Requires:
|- style="background-color: e67300;"
|
* [[Fence#Upper & Lower Frames|Upper or Lower Frame]]
* '''''3'''x'' [[Sheet Metal]] <small>per Section</small>
* '''''12'''x'' [[Nails]] <small>per Section</small>
* [[Hammer]]/[[Hatchet]]
|}
To complete the {{PAGENAME}}, attach the appropriate amount of [[Nails]] and [[Sheet Metal]] to the fence and begin construction with the [[Hammer]] or [[Hatchet]] in hand.
</div></div>

=== Optional Sections ===

==== Platform ====
{|class="wikitable"
! style="background-color: #8c6a5c; color: white;" | Requires:
|- style="background-color: e67300;"
|
* [[Fence#Base|Fence Base]]
* '''''5'''x'' [[Plank|Planks]]
* '''''15'''x'' [[Nails]]
* [[Hammer]]/[[Hatchet]]
|}
To add an elevated platform to a {{PAGENAME}} simply attach the required [[Plank|Planks]] and [[Nails]] to the fence, equip the [[Hammer]] or [[Hatchet]] and the option will become available. The platform only requires the fence base to be built in order to be constructed. 

<small>'''Note:''' Fences with a Platform cannot be made into Gates, and vice-versa.</small>

==== Stairs ====
{|class="wikitable"
! style="background-color: #8c6a5c; color: white;" | Requires:
|- style="background-color: e67300;"
|
* [[Fence#Platform|Fence Platform]]
* '''''4'''x'' [[Plank|Planks]] <small>per Set</small>
* '''''8'''x'' [[Nails]] <small>per Set</small>
* [[Hammer]]/[[Hatchet]]
|}
With a platform built, stairs can be built on the left and/or right sides to allow access to the platform. Attach the required [[Plank|Planks]] and [[Nails]] to the fence, equip the [[Hammer]] or [[Hatchet]] and the option to construct the stairs will become available.

== Modifications ==
=== Gate ===
To upgrade the Fence to be an openable Gate, it requires a [[Metal Wire]] and [[Pliers]].

The gate can be locked using a [[Combination Lock]].

== Attachments ==
=== Camo Net ===
A [[Camo Net]] can be placed on the Fence to add camouflage.

=== Barbed Wire ===
Up to two [[Barbed Wire]] reels can be placed on the Fence and constructed by looking at the barbed wire reels with [[Pliers]] equipped. These will damage and cut any [[Survivors]] attempting to get close.

== Destruction ==
The following tools can be used to dismantle the Fence and its components from the inside.

{{ItemLinkBox|type = equipment
 | name = Crowbar
 | link = Crowbar

{{ItemLinkBox|type = equipment

{{ItemLinkBox|type = equipment

|}}
{{ItemLinkBox|type = equipment
 | name = Splitting Axe
 | link = Splitting Axe
 | img  = Splitting_Axe_SA.png
|}}
{{Clear|left}}

Explosives, weapons and tools can be used to damage the Fence and its parts. This is one of the primary methods for base raiding.

== Trivia ==
* Early concept art of survivor bases depicting fences showed [[Xmas Lights]] being able to be attached. This was also functional in early working versions, however at some point this was removed before final release.
