A railing system comprises first and second rails, a post, a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket connects the first rail to the post and comprises a first plate, a first pivot member, a first receiving portion, and a first base. The first receiving portion and the first base are adapted to pivot about a longitudinal axis of the first pivot member. The second bracket connects the second rail to the post, and comprises a second plate, a second pivot member, a second receiving portion, and a pin. The second receiving portion is adapted to pivot about a longitudinal axis of the second pivot member.

The disclosure is directed to a single layer including a plurality of unit cells. Each unit cell includes a first bowling pin structure interlocked with a second bowling pin structure arranged in an opposite orientation to the first bowling pin structure. The first bowling pin structure has a first sidewall, a first wide end, and an opposing first narrow or equal size end. Likewise, the second bowling pin structure has a second sidewall, a second wide end. Each of the bowling pin structures has a center axis along a longitudinal axis of the single layer structure. The first and second sidewalls are configured to have a 3D “S” shape along the longitudinal or vertical axis such that each of the first wide end and the second wide end has a convex shape and each of the first narrow or equal size end and the second narrow or equal size end has a concave shape.

A frame rail assembly for a boat dock structure includes a frame rail member and a removable resilient rub-rail member. The frame rail member includes a first side configured for securing the frame rail member to a side of the boat dock structure; a second side opposing the first side; a first channel extending along a length of the frame rail member; and a second channel below the first channel, the second channel extending along the length of the frame rail member. An interlocking frame rail system for boat dock structures includes a first frame rail member, a second frame rail member, and an upper connector member extending along at least a portion of a length of the first frame rail member and at least a portion of the length of a second frame rail member.

A security grid structure comprising two spaced elongate channel sections with side walls which are formed with spaced apart apertures, and elongate members each of which extends through associated apertures in the side walls, and at least one elongate element which extends transversely to, and which is secured to, the elongate members.

A channeled fence post system and method is provided for building horizontal fencing. 2 J-channeled metal posts are attached back to back and provide holes through which boards can be mounted horizontally with the mounting connectors hidden from the front face of the fence. Decorative covers can be selectively affixed to the posts.

The invention belongs to ecological revetments in the technical field of river ecology, which particularly involves an ecological revetment to regulate wandering rivers. The ecological revetment is composed of porous concrete-piles, ecological connecting-plates, an ecological viewing-corridor and a slope green-belt. The ecological landscape-corridor and anchor rod are placed on the upper and middle parts of the pile structure, respectively. In virtue of the innovative structure, the ecological revetment will strengthen the revetment structure, reduce the revetment settlement, prevent the revetment from moving, and enhance the overall stability of the revetment project. The ecological holes exist on the ecological connecting-plates, which is beneficial to the exchange of material and energy from the river course and the bank slope, and the holes could greatly enhance the self-cleaning capacity of the water body. Not only do the plants on the ecological viewing-corridor provide the habitats for the organisms, but also green the revetment.

A fence panel coupler 10 comprises a first clamping member 12, a second clamping member 14 and clamping means to connect the first clamping member 12 to the second clamping member 14. The clamping means is arranged to enable the first clamping member 12 to be moved towardsor away from the second clamping member 14 in order for the fence panel coupler 10 to be releasably clamped to a fencing structure. In particular, the fence panel coupler 10 is arranged to secure a fence post (or pole) 20 of a first fence panel to an adjacent second post (or pole) 22 of a second fence panel. The present invention provides a fence panel coupler which can be operated by a single person located on one side of the perimeter fencing. The fence panel coupler 10 comprises a first clamping member 12 which is permanently attached to the second clamping member 14 such that the two clamping members 12, 14 cannot be released from each other. The fence panel coupler is therefore a self contained element with no detachable components. The fence panel coupler 10 is preassembled and the first clamping member 12 is inseparable from the second clamping member 14.

Disclosed herein is a slatted screen 10 comprising a frame comprising first and second opposite side members 12 and first and second opposite end members 14. A plurality of slats 18 extend between the side members 12. The slats 18 lie in a common plane P and comprise a first and second end slats 18a at opposite ends of a plurality of intermediate slats 18b. The intermediate slats 18b comprise a first group of slats 18b.sub.1 and a second group of slats 18b.sub.2, wherein the slats of the two groups are interspersed with each other. The slats 18b.sub.1 of the first group are angled relative to the common plane P at different angle to the slats 18b.sub.2 of the second group.
