The Small Metal Wire Fence is a low fence of welded pipe and wire mesh. It marks off a yard or garden while leaving a clear view over it.
It belongs to Welding and comes in a single version. The in-game tooltip says the horde can at least be seen before it breaks in. Pointy weapons can attack through it. It slows zombies down and blocks vehicles. Zombies and survivors can still climb over it. Low fences like this help in melee fights, since a zombie climbing over is open to blows. The Small Wire Fence Gate matches it as an entrance.
How to Build Small Metal Wire Fence
This recipe must be learned first. The magazine Welder Monthly - April 1993 teaches it. The Welder occupation knows it from the start. It asks for Welding level 3 and gives 30 Welding XP.
It takes two Iron Pipe, one Scrap Metal and one Wire. A Welding Torch and Welding Rods join the parts. Both are drawn down by the build.
Once built, the fence has 200 health. Each point of the builder's skill adds 20 more.
It is a cheap way to train Welding at level 3. A long fence line gives steady XP.

How to Use Small Metal Wire Fence
The fence stands low, so both sides can see over it. Zombies and survivors climb it the same way they climb through a window.
A large horde can push down a fence like this when enough of them cross at once.
Fighting at the fence works well. Zombies slow down as they climb, and a defender can strike as they come over.
A Sheet Rope can be tied to it, like other small fences. Built on a roof edge, it stops anyone walking off by accident.
Notes
- The tooltip says pointy weapons can attack through this.
