rough-woven fence, bamboo hedge
籬 centers on a barrier made from rough natural materials: a fence or hedge woven from bamboo or similar plants.
籬 combines 竹 (bamboo) with 離, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest separation or enclosure, fitting a bamboo fence.
Bamboo 竹 at the top and 離 below suggest a fence that separates. Picture a rough bamboo hedge woven to keep things apart.
For リ, imagine a reed fence: reed -> リ, and the bamboo hedge is made of reeds.
