    My shop built fence is 3 inches tall, but the next iteration will be more like 6 or 8.

    My homebrew is 5" but my most used is an Incra jig. 3".

    Here is a pic of mine when I first built it. The t-tracks are great for securing featherboards. I guess it is 7-8", raining to hard for me to go out and measure.

    The router table I built has (re)movable faces mounted to the fence - one set is 4" tall, the other set is 10" tall.

    I assume by the <6" you accually mean >6". I can't fully remember, but it is so close to 6" that I chose >6" because I wish it was taller. Drawer locks and miter locks are more easily done on a tall fence and the t track for featherboards needs a taller fence.

    My every-day fence is something like 3" high but I have made taller ones for applications like flush trimming that will bolt on for the job.

    My regular fence is about 3" tall, but I also made one 15" for cutting the tails on sliding dovetails on long shelves.

    I bought one of the Rockler closeout fences. I replaced the MDF faces with taller shop built faces using HDPE. I like that much better.
