What surface is fencing played on?

Fencing is typically played on a rectangular strip called a "piste," which is about 14 meters long and 1.5 to 2 meters wide. The surface of the piste is usually made of a smooth, non-slip material to ensure safe and consistent footing for the fencers. It is often marked with lines to indicate the boundaries and scoring areas. Fencing can be played both indoors and outdoors, though indoor venues are more common for competitive events.
