The invention provides components for an electric fence. The components are made of a composite material including a derivative or a combination of minerals and a polymeric material.

Interactive systems and methods are provided for designing and constructing fences or other structures supported by posts, including methods which enable users to design custom fence panels and be presented with dynamic visual representations of such custom fence panels and related bill of material information. Implementations also include various functionality for ensuring that each fence panel of a fence has uniformly spaced fence boards of a common width with no partial width boards required to laterally fill the fence panel.

A light fixture for a security lighting system includes an elongated pipe having a lower pipe section, an upper pipe section, and an articulating joint coupling a lower end of the upper pipe section with an upper end of the lower pipe section for enabling the upper and lower pipe sections to articulate relative to one another. A clamping element is coupled with the lower end of the lower pipe section. A glare shroud is secured to the upper end of the upper pipe section. One or more LEDs are secured to an underside of the glare shroud. Each LED has an optical lens that is configured to pass light from the underside of the glare shroud at a predetermined beam angle of 137-156 degrees.

A perimeter fence comprises at least one substantially horizontal base portion and at least one corresponding barrier portion, which is removably secured to the respective base portion, comprising a pair of substantially vertical posts and a panel supported therebetween. The fence limits access to a designated area and can be used, for example, for crowd control at concerts and other outdoor events, protest/demonstration crowd management and facility/infrastructure perimeter protection. The fence utilizes a modular design and an improved fastening and storage system; and thus can be readily assembled for mobile use and disassembled for storage and transport. Metal expanded wire mesh or solid panels are provided to maximize security and limit access. The fence is provided in various dimensions to reduce scalability and thus further limit access. A plurality of adjacent panels can be employed to extend the fence as necessary about the designated area based on the particular application.

Devices, systems, and methods for intrusion-detection for use with a fence comprising a gate-section have been developed and are herein described. The present disclosure relates to and describes a gate-connector system for an intrusion-detecting-fence system. A intrusion-detecting cable is run from a fence to a gate section. On each side of the gate section, the cable is terminated into a junction-box and connected to a shorter cable-plug assembly that terminates in a weatherproof, pull-apart connector. The cable-plug assemblies from each side of the gate section are connected together to complete a circuit. With the intrusion-detecting cable extending onto the gate, intrusion-protection is provided on the gate section as well as on the fence. A gate at the gate section can easily be opened by unplugging the connectors.

A fence assembly with a lighting system includes a hollow fixing base defining a plurality of first opening at an upper end thereof, a fence body, a plurality of light strips and electrical wires. The fence body includes a plurality of hollow second posts, and is removably connected to the fixing base and configured for sealing the plurality of first openings. Inner space of the fixing base communicates with inner space of the second posts. The plurality of light strips has a first end fixed in the fixing base and has the other part received in corresponding hollow second post. The electrical wires are accommodated within the inner space of the fixing base and used for electrically connecting with the first ends of the plurality of light strips.

A light fixture for a perimeter security fence is adjustable for establishing a distance from the fence line where a blinding glare zone begins. The light fixture includes an elongated pipe having a lower pipe section, an upper pipe section, and an articulating joint coupling a lower end of the upper pipe section with an upper end of the lower pipe section for enabling the upper and lower pipe sections to articulate relative to one another. The light fixture is secured to a post of the perimeter security fence. The light fixture has a glare shroud secured to the upper end of the rigid upper pipe section. The glare shroud has an underside that faces toward the ground. One or more LEDs are secured to the underside of the glare shroud. Each LED has an optical lens passing light having a beam angle of 137-156 degrees.

A light fixture for a security lighting system mounted onto a perimeter fence includes an elongated pipe having a lower pipe section, an upper pipe section, and an articulating joint coupling a lower end of the upper pipe section with an upper end of the lower pipe section for enabling the upper and lower pipe sections to articulate relative to one another. The light fixture has a junction box secured to the lower end of the lower pipe section, and a clamping element coupled with the junction box for securing the light fixture to a post of the perimeter fence. The light fixture has a glare shroud secured to the upper end of the rigid upper pipe section, the glare shroud having a reflective concave surface that forms an underside of the glare shroud that faces toward the junction box, and one or more LEDs secured to the reflective concave surface of the glare shroud, whereby each LED has an optical lens configured to pass light having a beam angle of 137-156 degrees.

A tool for fastening an insulator to a support, the insulator including an insulator body having a front and back, a formation for supporting a barrier, and at least one mounting formation having a front and a back by which the insulator is attached to a support, the back of the mounting formation in use being proximal to the support, at least one of the at least one mounting formation including at least one passage extending transversely through the mounting formation from the front to the back of the mounting formation, and at least one alignment member, the tool including a driver blade for driving a staple, and at least one passage alignment member, in use the at least one passage alignment member aligning at least one passage of the insulator, with one leg of a staple.

An electric fence and its manufacturing method. The electric fence includes multiple warp cords and multiple weft cords raschel knitted together using a raschel knitting machine to form the electric fence having multiple rectangular holes. The warp cords include a top warp cord, a bottom warp cord, and multiple middle warp cords between the top and bottom warp cords. The middle warp cords include electrically charged middle warp cords and electrically uncharged middle warp cords, the charged middle warp cords being interlaced among the uncharged middle warp cords. The bottom warp cord and the uncharged middle warp cords are formed of synthetic fibers, and the top warp cord and the charged middle warp cords are formed of synthetic fibers and at least one metal wire in each cord. The manufacturing method increases productivity and reduces production cost, and the electric fence is suitable for low temperature environment.
