Fences are a DIY outdoor item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Fences can be placed to create boundaries, and are primarily used for aesthetic purposes. To achieve a 5-star island rating, a variety of fencing must be placed on the island. They are crafted in stacks of 10.

Fences are unlocked after establishing 3 housing plots for Tom Nook. He will supply the player with 50 simple wooden fences, and the recipes for most fences will become available for redemption in the Nook Stop. Two recipes are available each day, and all recipes cost 1,000 Nook Miles. Several fences can only be obtained through other means however; the Bunny Day Fence recipe can only be acquired during the Bunny Day event, the Hedge recipe is received from Tom Nook after completing a Nature Day Nook Miles+ challenge, and the Wedding Fence can only be obtained on Harv's Island during Wedding Season.

Placing Fences

Placing Fences isn't like placing ordinary furniture. The player must equip the desired fence from their Pocket and it'll be equipped similarly to a Tool. When they are equipped, the player can build the fence in front of them, and they are oriented perpendicular to the player direction. Fences automatically connect with those placed next to them, but they cannot connect diagonally. Two fences placed that are facing directions different from each other will make a corner.
