STRUCTURE FOR PROVIDING A PHYSICAL OR VISUAL BARRIER
A structure (1) for providing a physical or visual barrier comprises at least one post (2) mounted to a supporting surface and to which is secured at least one slat (8) by at least one wedge (10). The post (2) has a beam 31 (16) extending upwards from a footing. The beam (16) comprises at least one longitudinally extending plate which at least partially encloses a hollow (18). The beam has at least one plate that extends between opposite left and right sides (33, 34). The beam has at least one plate that extends between opposite front and rear sides (31, 32). The beam (16) is cut through by at least one slot (28) extending rearwards from the front side (31) part of the way towards the rear side (32). The slot (28) is configured to receive a portion of a slat (8) when inserted into the slot (28) in an insertion direction from the front side (31) of the beam (16). The slat (8) then extends laterally away from at least one of the sides (33, 34). Each slot (28) has a width that provides a sufficient clearance gap (29) with the slat (8) whereby a tip (40) of the wedge (10) may be driven into the gap (29) from one side of the beam (16) to secure the slat (8) to the beam (16).
Integrated fence irrigation and grow system
An integrated fence irrigation and grow system is provided. The system includes one or more post members, one or more bed members disposed on the post members and an irrigation system coupled to a water supply and connected to each of the bed members to introduce water to each of the bed members. The bed members each include a tubular body having a top surface and a bottom surface. The tubular body is formed by a wall, and the wall defines an interior cavity in the bed member. The wall includes a plurality of openings disposed along a top surface of the bed members. When growing medium is disposed within the interior cavity of the bed members, plants planted in the growth medium in proximity to the openings grow therein, and foliage thereof is at least one of viewable and harvestable above the plurality of openings.
Structure for Netted Yard Games
A system includes horizontal elements, vertical elements, and a flexible partition. The horizontal elements form a multi-sided play area bounded by the horizontal elements. The vertical elements extend perpendicularly upward from ends of the horizontal elements. The flexible partition is coupled to the vertical elements to bound a perimeter of the multi-sided play area by forming panels extending between the vertical elements. Each panel has a height corresponding to a height of the vertical elements and a length corresponding to a length of the horizontal elements.
Fence
Provided is a fence which can prevent a person from clambering over the fence while ensuring sufficient ventilation. The fence includes: a plurality of posts; a pair of plate members extending in a horizontal direction and spaced away from each other in a vertical direction; and a blocking member arranged in the space between the plate members for keeping a foot of a person from entering the space between the plate members to prevent the person from clambering over the fence, wherein a lower end of the blocking member is spaced upward from the plate member at a lower position, and defines a lower gap against an upper surface of the plate member at the lower position, the lower gap having such a dimension as to keep a tip of the foot of the person from entering the lower gap.
Snap fit posts for fence panels balustrades and the like
A post for a fit together panel comprising at least one said post and at least one slat, the post comprising a base member and a cover member, the cover member comprising a pair of sidewalls and an interconnecting end wall, the interconnecting end wall containing a plurality of openings through which the end of a slat can pass, the sidewalls adapted for extension over the channel member, the base member comprising a base wall and opposed sidewalls, at least one sidewall comprising a clamping leg adapted for clamping engagement against the end of a said slat passing through a said opening in the cover member, and snap fitting means on the channel member and/or the cover member to enable the channel member and the cover member to be snap fitted together.
Bollard fence
An exemplary bollard fence includes bollards having bottom ends secured in a concrete base, the bollards spaced apart and extending axially from the concrete base; an elongated member moveably disposed inside of each of the bollards, and a header member laterally interconnecting the upper ends of the bollards.
Modular Privacy and Sound Barrier Fence System
A privacy and sound barrier fence system and apparatus is disclosed. The fence is erected with interlocking horizontal or vertical panels which are held in place by posts at the ends of the boards. The boards are equipped with a tongue and groove system, configured to enable the boards to interlock, forming a solid wall segment. Each segment, referred to as a module, may be connected at a 90 degree angle, to permit a turn in the fence. Adjustable mounting points on the posts allow for the modules to be disposed in a step orientation or at a slope for non-level terrain. The boards ensure that the erected fence remains aesthetically pleasing from both the front and rear of the fence. The fence system does not employ any structural rain reinforcement connecting the posts, and is capable of withstanding hurricane-strength winds.
Fence system including fiberglass T-posts
Fence assemblies are assembled from T-posts and crossmembers which may comprise rails formed from C-channels. The T-posts and rails are formed from pultruded fiberglass and can be connected together using bolts and nuts or push rivets. Cross members comprising wires or pultruded, fiberglass tubes may also be used.
Fence Brace System Adapted For Use With Corner Post Arrangements
The present invention comprises a brace adapted to secure one or more fence rails to a fence post. The present invention brace may optionally be installed onto an existing fence or on a new fence. The invention includes a fence post brace member adapted to connect to one or more sides of a fence post and a fence rail brace member adapted to connect to two or more sides of a fence rail. The fence post brace member may form a vertical picket fastener slot for use in affixing a picket to the fence post. The fence post brace system may be adapted for use with corner fence post arrangements such as those having a fence rail positioned above and supported by the fence post and those defining a channel for receiving a fence rail.
Fence system and method
A fence system may include stably coupleable posts, railings, and pickets. A post may include components configured to snap fit such as a post housing and post cover. A post cover may include a hole to snap fit to an end of a railing. A railing may include components configured to snap fit such as a railing housing and railing cover. Railing components may include holes positioned to correspond when the components are snap fit. The corresponding holes may be dimensioned to snap fit an end of a picket. Railings, pickets, or both may be pivoted when snap fit with a respective post or railing.
