Oh, now I remember a similar post I did: A noob builder learning new building tricks
And here I also got some good tricks: ♻ Turn-based multiplayer using a shared save file (Ascendancy, Temperate 🌲 )
Mainly the latticed windows as fences like you did, but also sinking the birdbath into the ground and using the weaver tapestry sink in the ground as a railing. Oh and the farms strips to maximize size while having few crops (so giant farms without taxing the farmer)
