−	Historically, palisades were made from tree trunks arranged without gaps and rising up to 4m ~~high~~. The tops would usually be pointed like a pencil to create a more effective deterrent. They were quickly and easily built from materials that were often readily available. Because of this, a palisade might have been built as a temporary wall around a castle until a more permanent stone wall could be constructed.	+	Historically, palisades were made from tree trunks arranged without gaps and rising up to 4m in height.
