English translation:stockade fence
Explanation:
This may be what is meant. Stacheten are posts, usually wooden. But I can't imagine surrounding the lot with posts. A stockade fence is built from thin wooden posts.

If Kristina is correct and this is a misspelling for Staketen, it would be also be a stockade or palisade fence according to Fachwörter Bauwesen - Gelbrich/Reinwaldt
