Zoo Fence
Let's build a long fence right on a metal rail to keep all your wild toy animals safe (or pretend to keep them in!).
Do the Stick Test
Try one tile on a rail first. Some clothes horses are secretly magnetic. Some are just pretending.
Safety: Build low, avoid folding joints, and make sure the clothes horse is stable.

If it falls off
Make sure each tile is firmly clicked onto the metal rail, or try hanging fewer tiles at first.
Make it easier
Just make a really short fence with a few squares and no triangles.
Make it bigger
Build a super-duper long fence by adding more squares, or make a taller fence by stacking another row of squares.
Chaos upgrade
Add a mischievous toy animal that always tries to escape the fence!
