The best--sections of tall, concrete-filled steel poles deeply rooted, closely spaced and solidly linked at the top--are bluntly functional. The worst--rusting, graffiti-covered, Vietnam-era surplus--are just skeevy walls of welded junk. Whether you think it's a sad necessity or a crude brutality, the fence is not a sight that stirs pride. The operative question, however, is not What does it look like? but How does it work...
