Tek Fence Support — Detailed Guide
A Tek support for level fence lines
For walling off an area, such as a pen that keeps tamed dinos in, ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended offer the Tek Fence Support. Its in-game description: "Acts as a foundation so you can build on fence walls. Doesn't follow ground so can build level fences."
How it snaps and sits
Fence Foundations follow the ground; fence supports do not, which means structures on them can sit at level heights. A support can be placed straight on the ground, snaps to foundations and to other fence supports, and can be snapped at 45 degree angles. The wiki adds a note about foundations: when one is destroyed, every building piece resting on it is destroyed too, and if it was demolished, no resources come back for those extra pieces.
Unlocking and crafting
According to the wiki, a win against the beta 
Dragon or the Beta Crystal Wyvern Queen unlocks the support, and the 
Exo-Mek is listed as a place to craft it. A craft takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) and gives 2.4 XP. Ingredients:
- 25
Element Shard (or 
Red Element Shard) - 5
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 2
Cementing Paste (or 
Achatina Paste)
Weight, loot and toughness
Each support weighs 4, and a full stack of 100 weighs 400. Our records count 20 crate types that can contain it, for example the Genesis Blue, Cyan and Green crates on Genesis Part 2. Treated as a Tek structure, it takes damage only from Titans, Bosses, the 
DodoRex, Tek Saddles, the 
Tek Rifle, explosives, the 
Arthropluera, the 
Titanosaur, and Corrupted and Enraged Creatures.
