How to Customize Fences

Redeem the Custom Fencing in A Flash!

Before you can start customizing your fences, you might need to redeem the Custom Fencing in A Flash from the Nook Stop first. This will cost you 2,500 Nook Miles, so save up while you can before the update hits!

How to Get Nook Miles Fast

Use the DIY Workbench!

Based on the Nintendo Direct, it looks like we will be using the DIY Workbench to customize the fences using customization kits.

How to Place Fences

Can be used like a Tool

When you select the Fence item from your bag, you character will hold a hammer, and become able to place pieces of Fence with the A Button. Also, you can remove pieces of Fence you've already placed by pressing the Y Button to put them back into your bag.

Put away the Hammer with Down on the D-Pad

When you're ready to stop making Fences, press the Down button on D-Pad, or select the Fence again from your bag and select Put Away. Also, if you go into a building, it will automatically return to your bag.

How to Remove Fences

Put Fences Away with the Y Button

By pressing the Y Button in front of a Fence, you can put it back into your bag. Even if you're holding a tool, you can still put away Fences with the Y Button just like any other placed item.
