fence building
Erecting property dividers
Fence building is the construction of barriers to enclose or divide land, using materials like wood, wire, or metal posts.
The term extends to political coalition-building—assembling support by reconciling different interests: The senator spent the recess fence building back home.
Someone skilled at this is a fence builder.
