It represents the imaginary barrier between the two different worlds that the two boys belonged too. It was the crossing point from a life of privilege to a life of torment and confinement. It represented the irony in the fact that a simple object such as a fence could separate 2 completely different lives.

The fence could also represent something that brought hope towards the future. The boys were able to be themselves around it, even with their differences. It guided them towards friendship even though they were raised to be enemies.
