Crafting Wooden Fences, Gates, and Hedges in Macaw's Fences

guide

Wooden fences in Macaw's Fences and Walls provide decorative perimeter enclosures, garden borders, and livestock pens across all standard wood species. Rather than relying on standard vanilla fence posts, builders can produce distinct rustic and modern timber barriers using lumber and sticks. The mod supports twelve wood varieties including oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, bamboo, crimson, warped, and pale oak.

Crafting Horse Fences and Wired Fences

Horse fences provide an open post-and-rail appearance suited for pastures, ranches, and paddock enclosures. Assembling these rustic boundaries utilizes timber logs and sticks.

Crafting three units of Oak Horse Fence requires three Oak Log blocks and three Stick items in a crafting grid.
The arrangement places one log, one stick, and one log across the top row, mirrored by one stick, one log, and one stick across the bottom row.
The resulting barrier connects smoothly with terrain, allowing ranchers to corral livestock and horses behind authentic corral posts.

Wired fences combine wooden framework with industrial iron mesh, ideal for security compounds and farm boundaries.

Producing three units of Oak Wired Fence requires four Stick items, one Iron Bars, and one Oak Log.
The crafting table layout positions a stick on each flank of the top row with iron bars in the top-center slot, while two sticks flank a log on the bottom row.
The resulting wired barrier creates a semi-transparent perimeter that blends natural lumber with security mesh.

Assembling Picket Fences and Stockade Fences

Picket fences bring traditional garden architecture to homesteads and town pathways.

Crafting three units of Oak Picket Fence requires four Oak Log blocks, one Oak Planks, and one Stick.
The upper row positions a planks block between logs, while the lower row positions a stick between logs.
The pointed pale silhouettes border flowerbeds, village homes, and manicured walkways without obstructing sightlines.

Stockade fences feature closely spaced vertical timber logs designed for fortifications and frontier outposts.

Fabricating three units of Oak Stockade Fence requires four Oak Log blocks and two Oak Planks.
Planks blocks rest in the center column across both rows, flanked by logs on either side.
Stockade barriers form solid wooden palisades capable of screening homesteads and defending courtyards from exterior threats.

Wooden Gate Varieties

Controlling entry through wooden perimeters uses three distinct gate styles that match each timber type.

The Oak Curved Gate yields four units when crafted from two Oak Log blocks and three Oak Planks. Two logs occupy the left column, while three planks fill the middle-bottom, right-top, and right-bottom slots.
The Oak Highley Gate produces one gate using four Stick items and two Oak Log blocks, with sticks on the outside columns and logs in the center column across both rows.
The Oak Pyramid Gate crafts one unit from four Stick items, one Oak Log, and one Oak Planks. Sticks fill the corners, while a log sits in the top-middle slot above a planks block in the bottom-middle slot.

Foliage Hedges and Wooden Obstacles

Living hedges serve as natural boundaries for estates, botanical gardens, and hedge mazes.

Placing four Oak Leaves in a two-by-two square inside a crafting grid yields four units of Oak Hedge.
Foliage hedges can be shaped from various leaf varieties, including Azalea Hedge, Birch Hedge, Spruce Hedge, and Dark Oak Hedge.

For defensive perimeters, engineers can construct spiked wooden barriers.

Crafting four units of Wooden Cheval De Frise requires four logs from any wood type and one Stick.
Four logs fill the corners and sides while a stick rests in the top-center position, creating an angled timber barrier designed to repel charging adversaries.
