[why2025-terrain] Family Zone fencing

[Gina Muuss]

Hi Sim!

We discussed your fence during our last meeting and agree that having 
something sturdy is probably clever, but we don't have strong feelings 
what that should look like. The only thing we would like you to keep in 
mind is that you probably want a fence that can be hammered and does not 
need to be drilled. This is because then it is parallelizable and with 
this year's build-up being tight that is preferable. With that remark 
our conclusion is:

Feel free to do whatever your budget can handle :D You would have to 
order the fence yourself, though.
You need to make sure that also the delivery (and someone accepting it 
in case you arrive after your fence) is taken care of. This is a common 
use case, so Team:OffSite should be able to tell you more about that.

We also don't really know how to set up this type of fence so it would 
be great if you could do the research there and let us know.
We would also like to know if you want to build it yourself?
Otherwise, we will happily plan volunteers for this :D (if you don't say 
anything we assume you will do it.)

I hope this helps and I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Gina
