I've never seen a fence around one of these. But I've never seen one that was cement lined either. It sounds like it was positioned to catch runoff so anything that would block the runoff would defeat the purpose of the pit somewhat. You can really smell when you're by the manure pit, even more than in the barn. But why wouldn't they have a flashlight or something with them?? Or at the least - couldn't they remember where the thing was?? I've been on a farm. The Manure pit wasn't that far from the back of the barn. Just don't go near it if you can't see. Course this was an 8 yr old who might not have thought about things like that. That's a sad way to go.
