/vaˈla.ðo/
"Vallado" refers to a structure that serves as a barrier or enclosure, typically made from wood, metal, or other materials. It is commonly used to delineate boundaries or to keep animals contained, as well as for privacy and security purposes.
In terms of frequency, "vallado" is used relatively often in agricultural, real estate, and outdoor context, and it can be found in both oral and written communication. However, it may be more common in written contexts, such as legal documents or property descriptions.

While "vallado" itself may not be frequently used in idiomatic expressions, the concept it represents can be metaphorically found in various contexts. Here are a few examples where boundaries, barriers, or enclosures are implied:
