If you want something crude and simple, but quick to render you might want 
to try the following texture.
It's just a set of stripes overlayed diagonaly with a little bit of 
turbulence to stop it looking too regular.

light_source { < -150, 10  ,-80> color rgb 1}
camera {location <0.5,0.5,-2> look_at <0,0.5,0>}
#include "Colors.inc"

#declare FenceTexture =
texture{
  pigment{ gradient y turbulence 0.1
    color_map {
      [0.0 color rgbt<1,1,1,1>]
      [0.92 color rgbt<1,1,1,1>]
      [0.92 color Gray]
      [1.0  color Gray]
    }
  scale 0.05
  }
}

plane {z,0.4 texture {FenceTexture rotate z*45} texture {FenceTexture 
rotate -z*45}}
