fence-post
Vertical boundary anchor
A fence-post is a vertical stake driven into the ground to support a fence, typically made of wood, metal, or concrete.
Posts are set at regular intervals with rails or wire strung between them.
In computing and mathematics, a fence-post error (or off-by-one error) occurs when you miscalculate boundaries—like counting the posts in a fence instead of the gaps between them.
