But to even propose a fence implies gravity, so while you could conceptually build a fence in space, it wouldn't have much of a function because part of its form implies certain assumptions about the locality. A fence in space has lost some of its "fence-ness". Are you implying that there is no gravity in space? Depends on what the fence wants to be or do. A fence on earth is built very differently depending on whether it is intended to restrain mice, deer, or birds. So it would be in space. A fence intended to stop solar rays from striking a satellite, for example, would be quite effective if anchored a bit to the sunward of the satellite.
