make layer named throw away

choose shape tools, square, with a black foreground, stroked, at line width 2
starting at 10,10 draw your square to 190,190

this is just for lining up your fence .. you will be getting rid of this later:)
If you can line things up nice and even you don't even have to make this square.

It will also be easier if you work in zoomed one time .. at least it is on my eyes:)

Now create new layer (main fence) and with your line
tool set at Single line, stroked, 2 draw a line from 25, 30 to 25, 190

draw another line from 40,45 to 40, 190

Making these lines is really the only "hard" part that there is.
Using your magic wand select the taller of the lines, hold down
the shift key and click the second shorter line with the magic wand.
Tolerance should be set at 0 feather 0

With these two lines selected choose copy then paste as new selection.
Line these two lines up with the bottom "throw away" line, trying to make
sure that they are as even as possible.  Now do this again, paste as new
selection, lining up even, and then one more time.  You should have this now:)

Control D to deselect just in case you have any marching ants.

Now use your magic wand and touch the last line (fence, not throw away)
and when it has marching ants then hit delete.  You only want 4 tall lines and 4 shorter lines.

Your are now done with the outer square (throw away) so do just that with it:)  open your
layers pallet and highlight it right click and choose delete.

Use your line tool and draw a line from 25, 60 to 146, 60 (use same settings as before)

again at 25, 175 to 146,175

Now use your magic wand and click on one of the lines, you should get marching ants on
all your lines .. go to selections, modify, expand (1) click ok.  With your paint can (filler)
set to solid color click inside one of the lines .. they should all get just a little larger.
Do you know why I had to do this .. because I messed up and didn't want to rewrite and
make new pictures:)  LOL  Well, I thought it was funny and thought you should know the truth:)

Control D to deselect:)  ok back to making the fence.

The best thing to do right now is Shift D, you will now have 2 copies of this .. save one of them
as a BASE FENCE .. then when you get ready to make another one You have all the boring
stuff done:)

Make new layer, top line.  Working in this layer draw a line from 20,28 to 30,28
Copy that little line and paste as new selection move it to the top of the next line.
Do this (paste as new selection) to each fence post.

Now merge visible (layers, merge, merge visible)

You might want to save it here too:)

Make new layer, spikes

Now use your pre shapes tool and choose Triangle, filled, line width at 1.
Set your mouse at 19,17 and draw the triangle to 31,27

LOOKING GOOD!!! now copy that spike and paste as new selection on to the
top of each line on the fence:)  When you get all done merge the visible layers again.

Make a new layer, middle lines, this will be for the top and bottom lines that connect
to each post.

Take your line tool, stroked at 2 line width with antialias checked  25,60 to 40,90 .. ok now
the next one is a little trickier because we are going to work the line backwards.  Place your
cursor at 40, 60 when it is there click and draw it to the left and down .. your numbers are
going to change and you want to stop at 25, 90 .. once you start it you will see what I mean.
Don't worry you only have to do this once:) Now since you did this on another layer you can
just COPY and then paste it as new selection until it looks like this.

Now ... hit copy then paste as new selection  and move it down
to the bottom and line it up like this picture is.

Now place two more lines on the fence, one under the top X's and one over the bottom X's.

You can stop here if you like and do an effect of ...
(MAKE SURE IT IS ALL MERGED VISIBLE FIRST:) ..

Image, effect, inner bevel with the preset of metallic.
I used these settings but you can use what you like.

Now you have this.

 Well guys and gals that is the basic fence.  If you want to make it your own
then add things .. here are a few  that I made.  If you want to do more
to it then don't add the bevel until you are ready to:)

When you are done go file .. export, as tube.  It should all be right you just need
to name it (or them:)  I name mine all with sw_fence1, sw_fence2 and so forth.

This is a really simple tutorial as you can see, it just shows what you can make with
nothing but a bunch of lines and maybe a font or two.

When you want to connect the fence you can lay one over the top of the other one,
I have included pictures so you can see:)
