Okay, so today I wanna talk about how I finally got my fence game on point in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I’ve been playing this game for a while, and let me tell you, fencing was a bit of a mystery to me at first, but I figured it out!
It all started when Tom Nook, that sly raccoon, tasked me with setting up three housing plots. Once I did that, he surprised me with 50 pieces of Simple Wooden Fence. That’s what I need! Then I realized that I was holding the fences, not using any tools. I just needed to face the right direction, and boom, the fence appeared in front of me. I felt like a pro builder. Then I started placing them next to each other, and they connected automatically, it’s cool!

But, 50 pieces? That’s not nearly enough for what I had in mind. I wanted a nice, big fenced area for my garden.
More Fences? No Problem!
So, I hit up the Nook Stop terminal. This thing is a lifesaver. Every day, it has a rotating selection of fencing recipes. Every single recipe is just 1,000 Nook Miles. I made it a daily routine to check the Nook Stop and grab whatever fencing recipes were available.
- Day 1: I found a recipe for a stone fence. Perfect for that zen garden vibe I was going for.
- Day 2: A classic iron-and-stone fence. This one would look great around my house.
- Day 3: Nothing new, but that’s okay. Patience is key, my friends.
- Day 4: Score! A cute, country fence, that’s what I need.
I kept at it, day after day. I gathered materials like a squirrel hoarding nuts. Stone, iron, wood – you name it, I had it stashed away. Then, I just crafted those fences like there’s no tomorrow. My inventory was overflowing with fence stacks, but hey, it was worth it.
Now, my island is looking sharp. I’ve got different fenced areas, each with its own style. My garden is safe from wandering villagers, and my house has that perfect, suburban curb appeal. It took some time, some Nook Miles, and a lot of crafting, but I finally mastered the art of fencing in Animal Crossing.
So, if you’re struggling with fences, don’t worry! Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll be a fencing pro in no time. Trust me, it feels good to finally have those property lines defined.
