Welcome to the forums.

You'll want to look into the Replicator tool (under the Tools -> Replicator menu). Here's a quick demo to show how this works:

1. Create a box.
2. Size it to 1,1,1 using the "Size to" function on the control panel to the left.
3. Move it to 0,0,5 using the "Size to" function on the control panel to the left.
4. With the box selected, bring up the Replicator and set the following values:
Copies = 7
Rotation degrees = 0,45,0
5. Click "Go" in the replicator window.

You can use this same principle for creating a circular fence - just create one pole and replicate it around (once for each post). Then model the chains/lines between two of the poles and do the same.

Good luck.
