A ten-device-in-one reconfigurable adjustable carport (capable of functioning as a privacy screen, a wind screen, a cabana, a dog run, a retail-tradeshow booth, an attic, a storage, a picnic table, a kennel, and a carport) comprises: a canopy, roof spines, roof ribs, leg posts, T-shaped joiners and X-shaped joiners spring-snappingly connected to the roof spines and roof ribs and leg posts for configuring the ten-device-in-one carport as a car canopy and a greenhouse and an enclosure and a barrier and a cabana and a privacy room and a privacy screen and a tradeshow booth and a wind barrier, panels, door-frame panel, panel-to-panel-securing brackets and panel-to-post-securing brackets bolted to the panels and the door-frame panel and the roof spines and the roof ribs and the leg posts for configuring the ten-device-in-one carport as a dog run and a greenhouse and an enclosure and a barrier and bleacher shelves to store or display items and an attic to store items off the ground and a hanging cage to house animals off the ground and structures for displaying signs and roof storage, and bracket heads formed into the panel-to-post-securing brackets for automatically centering the bracket-head ends.

A safety fence comprising a first and a second post. An upper rail is securable to upright members of the first post and the second post in a horizontally orientation. A mesh has an upper end slidably coupled to the upper rail. The mesh has a retracted configuration where it is collapsed and retained next to the first post, and a deployed configuration where it is extended between the first and second posts in a taut configuration. At least one tensioning member has a first end fixed to the first post and is releasably securable to the second post such that the tensioning member may be tensioned between the first and second posts. The tensioning member, when tensioned between the first and second posts with the mesh in its deployed configuration, provides horizontal load support to the mesh.

A post mount (1), adapted to be installed in a substrate and releasably receive a post therein, including: a body (2); and an insert (3), adapted to cooperate with the body; wherein, in use, the body is adapted to be driven into the substrate, and, thereafter, the insert is adapted to be at least partially deformed, to thereby anchor the post mount to the substrate.

A wire/chain installing and tensioning device includes a wire-retaining rod, a post-engaging bracket, and a rod-receiving slot. The wire-retaining rod includes a rod body, a wire-engagement head, and a torque-receiving head. The rod-receiving slot normally traversing through the post-engaging bracket to receives the rod body. The wire-engagement head that receives and holds a wire to be tensioned is rotatably connected around a non-threaded section of the rod body. The torque-receiving head is terminally connected to a threaded section of the rod body and positioned opposite the wire-engagement head. The threaded section of the rod body is threadably engaged within the rod-receiving slot thus functioning as a linear actuator when the torque-receiving head is rotated by an external torque tool.

Various embodiments of cable railing systems are disclosed. Although not limited to these applications, the embodiments are particularly useful in connection with cable railing systems with solid wood support members or with solid concrete support members without weld plates. The embodiments include straight and corner cable termination assemblies that are designed to support a metal cable railing, particularly one that is heavy gauge.

A guide device (10) is disclosed for constructing a wire or cable fence. The device (10) is arranged for contact with, and movement along, strands of pretensioned wire or cable (64) which form the fence wires. The guide device (10) has a number of rotatable members (16) on a generally horizontal axis of rotation, which are each arranged in use to support one of the strands (64) at a respective, pre-determined elevation above surrounding ground (8). A plurality of fence posts (66) having through-holes (68) that are arranged for receipt of the respective strand(s) (64) can then be caused to slide along the strands (64) in use without contacting the surrounding ground (8), and be spaced apart along those strands (64) to form the posts of the fence.

A railing system includes a tensioning anchor which can be used for securing rails. The tensioning anchor has first and second conjoined holes or voids only partially overlapping one another. The first conjoined hole is sized to receive a terminal end of the rail, while the second conjoined hole is sized to receive a tensioner. Movement of the tensioner moves the terminal end of the rail to tension the rail.

A stretch kit for a fence having an end post and a horizontal brace. The stretch kit has a stretch mechanism that mounts to and extends upwardly from the horizontal brace. The stretch mechanism slides along the horizontal brace to a stretch specification position. Stretch specification markings on a marking bar may indicate the stretch specification position. A slide mechanism of the stretch kit may receive the horizontal brace and guide movement of the stretch mechanism. Positioning the stretch mechanism at the stretch specification position tensions a plurality of fence wires attached to the stretch mechanism. A plurality of springs mounted between the end post and the stretch mechanism maintains the stretch mechanism upon the horizontal brace relative to the end post at the stretch specification position against the tensioned fence wires.
