Fence Official Minecraft Wiki

Fences are wall blocks that cannot normally be jumped over.

Wood fences are broken most quickly with an axe, but will drop when broken with any tool. Nether brick fences require a pickaxe, mining it with anything else will drop nothing.

Oak fences spawn naturally:

Oak, birch and dark oak wood fences generate naturally in woodland mansions.

Nether brick fences can be found naturally in nether fortresses where they form window bars, balcony fencing, and gate-like structures.

Dark oak fences spawn as the supports in above-ground mineshafts.

While fences appear to be a single block tall, and have a hitbox height of one block, their collision box (for entities) is 1.5 blocks tall, meaning most mobs cannot jump over them without the Jump Boost status effect. They are transparent to light and have visual gaps in the model.

A fence occupies the center space of blocks and automatically connects to any solid block that is placed next to it. Wood fences will connect to other wood fences, but will not connect to nether brick fences.

Since their hitbox is smaller than a single block, it will allow a player/mob in the block to breathe even when submerged.

Fences can be used to attach mobs with a lead.

Wooden fences can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Unlike with most blocks, right-clicking on a fence will attempt to play an action. This is an intentionally programmed feature.[1]
