Definition
Iron fence or steel fence — a perimeter enclosure made from steel bars, tubes, or mesh welded to vertical posts. Pagar besi is used to define property boundaries, control access, and provide security. Design ranges from simple utilitarian bars to ornate decorative designs.
Example
An Indonesian residential property uses a welded steel pagar besi — horizontal rails between vertical tubes at 1.5 metre height, painted black, defining the street frontage and preventing casual entry.
