Why's that not going to work? You've also got some 1x1 plates in there? Looks good to me.

I'll be honest, it took me some time to understand why too, so I'll let you search :-)

Is that jumper fence supposed to use 1x1 plates? If so, wouldn't it require a 1x1 plate with a hole in the stud?

@Zhaph-BenDuguid My guess it that the 1x1 can't connect to the 2x1 in the middle as they don't have hollow studs.

Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 and Pubby8 are correct, a 1x1 plate with a hollow stud doesn't exist. There is a [Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Open Stud](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/85861) which would be a suitable replacement, but it exists only in white.

Yeah, good catch there. The other option would be 3614 Plate 1x1 Round with Towball, but that's not ideal either: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3614

Using fence elements to make fences? Where's the fun in that?

@Joubarc: That's the spirit. Great idea for building fences in this answer. Using finished molded fence bricks takes the fun out of it. You could of course use a 1x1 without stud on the first one, and just have the last 3 part bit standing loose (don't breathe...)

I only just realized that the first version isn't impossible to build any more, since there is a [new version of the jumper plate](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=15573) which allows for a regular stud to be connected in the middle of the underside. Yay!

Here is my first take on a graveyard. The graves aren't too great, as the fence is what I wanted to show all along. In case it's not obvious, it's attached to a [Brick 1 x 1 with Stud on One Side](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/87087) and then it's jumper-plate-jumper-plate-tile. Unfortunately, that doesn't actually work1 (that's one of the drawbacks of LDraw modeling, it won't tell you)

So if you need fences, you could use something like this, but I don't like it that much:
