11 Biggest Fences in the World

Fences are used to prevent any kind of unauthorized physical access. We can tell you about some of the biggest fences in the world. Insider Monkey has an article with a list of eleven biggest fences in the world. Let’s read that article to find out how big are those fences.

Border barriers are nothing new. The most famous one is the Great Wall of China, built to keep those pesky Mongolians away from rich and civilized Chinese lands. Series of fortification totaling more than 13,000 miles in length are considered one of the greatest feats of human engineering. Unfortunately, it did little to stop Mongols and they eventually conquered China.


Another attempt at keeping rowdy neighbours out was Hadrian’s Wall in Britain.  Built in just 6 years starting in 122 AD, it stretches 73 miles from River Tyne to Solway Firth, roughly separating today’s England and Scotland. The wall was never really put to the test, as Romans packed up and left Britain some 250 years later, leaving the province to fend for itself as it slides back to barbarism.
