Back in Alpha 19, I remember, that metal bars were effective against hordes, but on this version, on day 14 the horde mowed through the bars in 10 seconds like it was nothing. Was something changed about that? 

 
Well, couple obvious differences, they were metal back then, Forged Iron -tier. Metal has (I think) a bit of resistance to zed attacks, so the 2500 hp seemed more than it was. Now, unless you've gone all the way to steel, you won't have that protection. Then again, as my shoddy memory serves, I think a concrete Bars block already feels stronger than the old Iron Bars.. I tend to stunlock the zeds with fences, so they don't really do much either way .. wood would be fine, just took half a horde with just one ele fence; until the third demo took the post out. Wasn't expecting any demos yet, so caught me a little by surprise ... :)

My electric fence was destroyed almost instantly. Is there any way to protect the poles? I remember, that I tried to build blocks around it, but zeds still hit that poles even behind the blocks.

The electric fences take damage over time when zombies runs through. So it is best to have redundancy or a way to repair it during the horde.

Guns, Nerd and Steel has published a video for A20 with tips and tricks for base building. The same principles still work for A21:
