Tools for this tag

The =* tag (value yes|no) indicates whether the outer perimeter of something is fenced.

information sign

For fences as separate features, use barrier=fence instead.

So for general information on how to map fences and associated features please see barriers.

History

Once upon a time (before 2008) there were no barrier tags, because nobody had invented them yet. In that time the only way to map a fence in Openstreetmap was with =yes. Between May 2016 and June 2023 =* was deprecated on this page under the false assumption that =yes and barrier=fence had the same meaning. Between Jan 2019 and June 2022 iD encouraged users to replace =yes with barrier=fence. Therefore almost all fences mapped since the invention of barrier=fence are (re)mapped using that newer tag.
