rail fence
Rustic property boundary
A rail fence is a fence made of split logs or wooden rails stacked horizontally between posts, common in rural America where timber was plentiful and wire scarce.
The zigzag pattern of a split-rail fence requires no nails or fasteners.
In cryptography, a rail fence cipher arranges plaintext in a zigzag pattern across multiple "rails" before reading off the ciphertext.
