The upper half is based upon a weaving theme of waft and weft; a reference to the work carried out in an adjacent warehouse. Three taller sections of the fence contain lockable display cases in which artwork is to be shown. Each is topped with a beehive in stainless steel.
The fence is 1.8 m high, its total length is 27m.
