The Wood Fence is a low wooden fence for marking off a yard, a garden or a roof edge. The in-game tooltip says it provides limited protection from the horde.
It belongs to Carpentry and comes in Shoddy, Poor and Good tiers. Zombies and survivors can both climb over it. That makes it a slowing line more than a wall. It is cheap, using two planks and two nails per section. Each tier up adds a good amount of health. It suits pens, gardens and the edges of a yard. Taller walls are the choice where zombies must be kept out.
How to Build Wood Fence
Every tier is known from the start. All three take two Plank and two Nails. A hammer drives the nails and comes back after the build.
The Shoddy tier asks for Carpentry level 3 and gives 30 Carpentry XP. The Poor tier asks for Carpentry level 5 and gives 50 Carpentry XP. The Good tier asks for Carpentry level 7 and gives 70 Carpentry XP.
The Shoddy fence starts at 250 health. The Poor fence starts at 350. The Good fence starts at 450. Each point of the builder's skill adds 20 more to any tier.
Planks come from sawing logs or taking apart wooden furniture. Nails are often found with hammers and other tools.
Each version of the Wood Fence has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.

How to Use Wood 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. Its health decides how long it holds.
A Sheet Rope can be tied to it, like other small fences. Built on a roof edge, it stops anyone walking off by accident.
A Wood Fence Gate gives the fence line a way through.
Build Tiers
All tiers cost the same planks and nails. Each step up adds 100 health and asks for more Carpentry. Build Shoddy fences to train the skill. Use Good fences for lines that face the most traffic.
Each version of the Wood Fence is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.
| Version | Image | Build Skill | Build XP | Health |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shoddy | 
|
Carpentry: 3 | Carpentry: 30 | 250 (+20 per skill level) |

Carpentry: 5 | Carpentry: 50 | 350 (+20 per skill level) |
