I think what is sentence is true.

The fences are very useful in places where there are many persons trying to pass through a single door.

Walls are usually thought of as something that is solid, as they are usually made of stone or bricks, and are bonded together by a cement mixture or mortar – like the Great Wall of China Smile.

Fences are generally made of wooden posts or planks, or even concrete posts. Sometimes, barbed wire may be strung between the posts.

A hedge is a line or row of plants and bushes, It can also be used to mark the boundary of a piece of land.

It is nonsense. It could mean any number of absurd things. It is not a sentence. It is a bunch of random words put together.

it doesn't make sense to me, either. especially the second part "that step up to front sliding door."

something is missing in the sentence;
