3D printing companies seem to do it in all sizes - there’s certainly 6mm on offer.
Paulsmodellingworkshop seems to offer it although I can’t open his page at the moment.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Empires at war do 28mm, not sure if that would match your requirements though. Renedra do fence kits that you can make up to your own standards.

How many feet of fencing do you need?

Have you thought of making your own using wooden kebab skewers or coffee stirers?

I kind of assumed such a venerable operator as Vintage would have considered that already and rejected it (for whatever reasons), but here's one of the best DIY tutorials I've seen:-

Not sure I can be arsed to make my own
If I was going out of scale 15mm might be better than 28mm
Not sure how much I need - what is this word “need”?

For a 6x4 table, whether it's hedges, fences, dry stone walls, or whatever, you need 24 feet, or 7.5m.

Yes indeed. 'Need' and 'want' seldom mean the same thing.

I made some snake fences for the SSM shiny ACW project. I'll send you a piccie.
