A method for forming a fence includes forming first and second feet each having at least two extensions thereon, wherein at least three extensions are spaced apart and parallel to each other; forming a frame having first, second and third elongated posts, wherein the first elongated post is below the extensions projecting from the first and second feet, wherein the third elongated post is positioned above the first and second posts, and wherein the second support post is positioned between the first and third elongated posts; and forming a wire mesh on the frame and welded to the three elongated posts.

A gate assembly is disclosed including a gate rail and an upright including a plurality of walls defining a cavity therebetween. A first of the walls includes an opening that is configured to receive the gate rail therethrough such that the gate rail extends into the cavity. The gate assembly further includes a gate corner insert configured for insertion into the cavity of the upright through a second opening of the upright. The gate corner insert includes a base and a plurality of protrusions extending from the base. The base and the plurality of protrusions define a second cavity therebetween with first and second protrusions of the plurality of protrusions defining a third opening in communication with the second cavity. The third opening and the second cavity are configured to receive the gate rail therein for removable attachment to the gate corner insert.

A fence for controlling the movement of animals. The fence comprises an elongate portion which is above ground level and which, in one way or another, make it more difficult for an animal to climb up the fence and/or deter an animal from attempting to climb up the fence. For convenience, the elongate portion is denoted a BB band. Fence components comprising BB bands, and methods for preparing them, are described.

This invention relates to a fencing system and method for assembling a fence panel. The fencing system comprises pickets, braces and rails which can be assembled into a fence panel. The fence panel can be assembled by inserting the pickets through the slots of the brace and the opening of the rails when the brace is in the unlocked position. The assembled fence panel can be locked into place by longitudinally driving the braces relative to their respective rails from the unlocked position to the locked position.

A mow strip, mow strip kit/assembly. There are front and back brackets coupled to an elongated mow strip body. The brackets, coupled to the base of a pair of adjacent fence posts, include flat protrusions extending orthogonally from a mounting plate. The elongated mow strip body has a flat side parallel to flat side of the fence posts to make a flush connection. The top of the mow strip includes a groove into which a fence rail may be disposed. A mounting structure on each face of the mow strip includes slits shaped and positioned to receive the protrusion of the brackets. The slits extend along and through an end of the bottom surface of the mow strip such that at the end of the bottom surface the elongated mow strip body may be vertically lowered directly onto one of the protrusions.

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 fence section includes an upper horizontal rail and a lower horizontal rail extending along respective upper and lower rail axes. A horizontal upper wall of the upper rail includes apertures spaced apart along the length of the upper rail. Vertical members extend beyond the upper wall through an internal cavity of the upper rail and through a respective aperture. The upper rail includes a first counterpart of a connecting structure for connecting at least one vertical member to the upper rail, the first counterpart being integrally formed with the upper rail. The at least one vertical member includes a second counterpart of the connecting structure, the second counterpart being integrally formed with the vertical member and configured to directly engage the first counterpart of the upper rail upon insertion of the vertical member through the respective aperture in the upper wall of the upper rail.

A fencing connector, H brace assembly incorporating a fencing connector, and method of constructing an H brace using a fencing connector, where the fencing connector includes a tongue portion, and a ring portion in which an aperture is formed. The tongue and ring portions lie in a common plane. The fencing connector can be formed from a single piece of material. The ring portion of the fencing connector is configured to fit over a vertical fence post, and the tongue portion of the fencing connector is configured to fit inside of a horizontal member that extends between the first vertical post and a second vertical post. In an H brace assembly, a fencing connector is provided at each end of the horizontal member. In addition, in such an assembly, stops may be fixed to the vertical posts to maintain the fencing connectors at a desired location along the respective vertical posts.

A portable or temporary fence including one or more substantially horizontal rails. A joiner is adapted to attach the rail to each post or adjacent panel, the joiner having a configuration that engages with a vertical component passing through the rail and the joiner thus effectively locking the joiner into the rail. The joiner further includes a mechanism to prevent the vertical component from moving vertically out of the joiner thus securing the panel components together.

A railing system includes an upper rail and a lower rail spaced from the upper rail. The railing system also includes a plurality of balusters positioned between the upper rail and the lower rail. The railing system further includes a clip configured to attach one baluster of the plurality of balusters to the lower rail or the upper rail. The clip includes a baluster engagement portion configured to be received within an open end of the one baluster. The clip further includes a tab extending from the baluster engagement portion. The tab includes a fin portion configured to be inserted within one aperture of a plurality of apertures of the upper rail or the lower rail. The tab also includes a spring portion coupled to the fin portion. The spring portion is configured to secure the clip to the upper rail or the lower rail.
