Picket or chain-link barrier (5)

I believe the answer is:

fence

(Other definitions for fence that I've seen before include "Obstacle to clear, in steeple-chasing" , "Shield" , "Bound over this" , "[SITTER] on this won't make a decision!" , "who deals in hot stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
