Description/Reason:
typically outdoor structure that creates a boundary, usually constructed from posts connected by boards, wire, rails or netting. Different from a wall in not having a solid foundation along its whole length. "A fence separated the visiting emperor from the crowd of onlookers."

I would use {Solrogh} or {naSInmey} for this and, if you want to emphasise the boundary part, form {chevwI' Solrogh}, analogous to {chevwI' tlhoy'}.
I think it's appropriate to say that a fence *has* {naSInmey}. {chevwI' Solrogh} might work if it fulfills the same territorial function as a {chevwI' tlhoy'}.
Adding my "I agree" to the previous comments and adding that I don't believe that the concept of a "wall" must have a "solid foundation along its whole length". My work cube's "walls" don't have any kind of foundation. The interior walls in my house are just skinny wooden boxes with drywall on one or more sides that just sit on the floor. They have no solid foundation either (remove a few nails and I can take them down or move them). Those walls have less material in them than the wooden fence my neighbor has around his garden. Robert Frost, in his famous poem "Mending walls", uses the word "wall" and "fence" as synonyms.
In addition to the already suggested meanings, I believe many fences are just types of {tlhoy'}, especially things like privacy fences or other fences designed to impede movement.

A wooden railing on metal supports separated the visiting emperor and the watching crowd.

So the emperor would not be crowded by the onlooking throngs, his guards installed a high metal barrier lattice along the route.
Consider also SIr'o' and le'mIS. If the impermanence of a fence influences you, then you might like chevwI' tlhoy' ru'.
