A railing assembly may include a first railing portion including a first channel and a second channel. The railing assembly may include a first retaining element disposed at least partially in the first channel. A second retaining element may be disposed at least partially in the second channel. A baluster may be disposed at least partially in the first railing portion. The first retaining element and the second retaining element may be configured to retain the baluster relative to the first railing portion. The railing assembly may include a second railing portion, and the baluster may be disposed at least partially in the second railing portion.

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).

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.

A gate assembly is formed from a gate attached by hinges to a jamb. A pair of L-shaped brackets are attached to the outer sides of the jamb. The brackets are in turn attached to a pair of gate posts in a barrier. Bolt holes formed in the header section of the jamb receive removable eye bolts that may be used as hoisting points as the jamb is being positioned within a barrier. To maintain the shape of the jamb during such positioning, a removable sill section is included in the base of the jamb. The first upright section of the jamb defines an unobstructed internal channel bounded by input and output portals. A cable may pass though the channel and into the gate by way of the output portal. Window openings in the gate may be fitted with removable window panels containing pickets and infill material. Dual gates may be positioned within an enlarged jamb, and a removable mullion post positioned between the gates and supported by the jamb.

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.

A fencing assembly includes a top cross-member having a first channel, a bottom cross-member having a second channel, a first vertical support member, a second vertical support member, and a planar barrier. The first vertical support member is connected to a first end of the top cross-member and a first end of the bottom cross-member and the second vertical support member is connected to a second end of the top cross-member and a second end of the bottom cross-member. The planar barrier is inserted into the first channel and the second channel and is confined on a first and second side of the planar barrier by the first vertical support member and the second vertical support member.

A fence post cap assembly includes a cap that is positionable on a fence post of a chain link fence. A loop is coupled to and extends upwardly from the cap, and the loop includes a gate portion that is pivotally coupled to a fixed portion. The gate portion is positionable in an open position thereby facilitating a top rail of the chain link fence to be installed on the fixed portion. Conversely, the gate portion is positionable in a closed position thereby facilitating the gate portion and the fixed portion to encircle the top rail. In this way the loop facilitates the top rail to be attached to the fence post. A tab is coupled to and extends upwardly from the gate portion for gripped to urge the gate portion between the open position and the closed position.

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.

A barrier panel includes first and second vertical rail members, each with a plurality of through holes spaced apart along its length. Top and bottom horizontal rails extend at least from the first vertical rail member to the second vertical rail member, and a first end of the top horizontal rail extends beyond the first vertical rail member in a first direction and a second end of the top horizontal rail opposite the first end extends beyond the second vertical rail member in a second direction opposite the first direction, each end is configured to be coupled to a respective post. A plurality of cables are vertically spaced apart along a length of the first vertical rail member, each cable extends from the first vertical rail member to the second vertical rail member.
