Plan before placing

Fence placement determines the shape of your walls and gates, so choose the location carefully before deploying the kit.

  1. Check that the area is flat enough for the fence.
  2. Avoid placing it too close to trees, rocks, uneven terrain, or buildings.
  3. Think about gate access, sightlines, and how players might approach your base.
  4. Place the kit where it supports your base layout instead of blocking future expansion.
