A universal support rail for a horizontal fence assembly has main body with a cross-sectional profile having a rail tongue extending to be retained within a fence plank groove and a rail groove formed to retain a fence plank tongue. The universal support rail may be positioned on top of the fence plank, or under the fence plank or between two fence planks to retain a plurality of fence planks in a stacked configuration between a pair of adjacent U-shaped members. A horizontal fence assembly comprises a pair of U-shaped members attached to a pair of coaligned and spaced apart vertical posts or other flat vertical surfaces defining a vertical channel for receiving at least one universal support rail and a plurality of fence planks. A method is provided for assembling a horizontal fence.

The privacy device is a fence gap cover formed by two planar panels, the first planar panel having a longitudinal length equal to the height of the fence gate and a width wider than the gap between the gate and the fence post. The second planar panel extends perpendicular to and along the longitudinal length of the first planar panel. The second planar panel is attached to the fence post such that the first planar panel overlaps the front edges of the fence post and gate covering the gap. The fence gap cover may be cut to length to match the height of the gate and to allow for the latch and hinges.

A method for forming a fence panel includes providing a mold including a cavity configured to receive a molten material. The molten material is injected into the cavity of the mold and flows within the cavity of the mold. After injecting the molten material into the cavity of the mold, and with the molten material cooled to harden, a formed fence panel is removed from the cavity of the mold. The formed fence panel includes a first portion having a pattern of apertures extending through the formed fence panel and a second portion having a continuous outer surface at least at a first side of the formed fence panel.

A fence board protector is provided. The fence board protector comprises two panels telescopically secured to one another, with the first panel slidably receiving the second panel on its rear side. Each panel has a substantially rectangular cross section configured to attach to the bottom of a fence board, protecting it from damage caused by grass trimmers and other lawn maintenance equipment. A fastener is disposed on the lateral sides of each of the panels, securing them to the fence board. The first panel has a larger width than the second panel, which nests within the first for compact storage. In some embodiments, a ratcheting system allows incremental extension and retraction. The protector clips on one side of a single fence board, preventing intrusion on a neighboring side of a fence.

An engineered privacy panel comprising a recycled rubber composition, where the panel comprises one or more integral reinforcement members for reinforcement and providing fastening means for fastening the back of the panel to a support. The privacy panel can be used to make partitions and partition systems, each of which can be provided as a kit.
