Is chainlink not used in Denmark?

Speaking for The Netherlands (but I think this could be representative for a
large part of Europe), all fences around building yards and so were made of wood
up util deep into the sixtees. In my childhood memory, these fences were
assembled from standard pannels of a vertical lattice type, with openings
between the planks about just as wide as the planks were. I remember these
fences were carefully taken care of, disasembled and re-used to a much higher
degree than temporary fences are nowadays. Cost of labour really has changed
since then.
More permanent enclosure solutions were:
- When it had to be representative, brickwork pillars with wrought iron pannels in between.
- Otherwise a plain brick wall was used, or prefab-concrete posts with vertical grooves holding a stack of horizontal prefab-concrete planks in between these.
- The Dutch Railroads mostly used a very simple low fence of steel or prefab-concrete post with two strands of plain iron wire (usually not barbed).
- Along railway lines in Belgium and France you also found (and stil can) fences of concrete posts with, sometimes very decorative, prefabricated concrete lattice fence pannels between these. A bit like part 30077 - Fence 1 x 6 x 2, but often more elaborate.
