Unless stated otherwise, by zombie we're refering to The Walking Dead -kind of undead creature.
Serious discussion only.

isnt any fence in zombo apocalypse depend on how high they can stack at each other?
a group of dozens zeke can easily overcome 3 meters fence
While higher is always better, I still feel like 2 meters is adequate. Zombies can't climb and I'd assume that if one falls it would just get back up. While plausible, I don't think they would start piling up and climbing on top of each other. Most likely they would just start pushing up against the fence and given enough of them they could easily push over a weak fence. That's why additional supports on the back would be vital. Most likely though you wouldn't encounter hordes in the woods. Just occasional individual ones.
You're correct. But that could apply to any barrier of any height.
In any serious survival situation, I would expect people to employ defense in depth. An exterior fence would just be the first layer of the onion, then you would have an interior fence, then you have a secured building, then you'd have a secured rooms inside the secure building, then you'd have multiple escape passages.
If anyone were to fail, there would be backup options.
A well thought out and constructed barrier is going to be part of anybody's defense plan. Even if it's not perfect
