A barrier, such as fence panel, is formed from a plurality of channel-shaped rails and plurality of upright members. Each upright member traverses the rail channels of the rails forming the barrier and is mechanically connected to the rail, such that the upright member is selectively tiltable with respect to the rail within an angular adjustment range. The mechanical connection between rail and upright member may be formed by a weld, such as a resistance weld, by a permanent adhesive, or with a fastener such as bolt or screw. A tab that extends from the rail web may be used to connect a rail to an upright member. The tab may depend from a bracket installed within the rail channel, or may be cut out and bent into the channel from the web. The tab is rotatable about an axis situated at or adjacent the web.

A height-adjustable and detachable fence system includes a plurality of fence sections pivotally coupled with each other; and a plurality of height adjustable units detachably coupled to the fence sections; wherein the fence section includes at least one horizontal rail, and a plurality of picket members uprightly coupled on the horizontal rail; wherein the height adjustable unit includes a base body supported on a ground and a post body detachably connected to the base body.

Disclosed is a positioning device for a fence supplemented with a pet guardrail. The pet guardrail is fixed to a side of an existing fence in a side-attaching manner, and an upper crossbar and a lower crossbar of the pet guardrail are fixed to an outer side of the existing fence by bolts and covered and protected by front and rear cover plates, and both ends of the upper crossbar and lower crossbar are sheathed with a side sleeve for protection. In this way, the grid spacing of the existing fence can be reduced to prevent pets from escaping, and the overall appearance is aesthetic, and the overall structure avoids people or pets from being scratched by the bolts and just requires simple operations for the installation.

A fencing system includes a first support member, a first linking member and a second linking member each extending between a first end and an opposite second end. The first linking member includes a first elongated slot spaced from a second elongated slot and the second linking member includes a first elongated slot spaced from a second elongated slot. The system also includes a coupling member configured to couple the first linking member and the second linking member with the first support member in an arrangement where the first linking member is positioned on a first side of the first support member, the second linking member is positioned on an opposite, second side of the first support member, and the coupling member extends through the first elongated slots of each of the first linking member and the second linking member.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to fence bracing apparatus having a tension adjusting module(s) to diagonally brace a fence post(s) and/or adaptive fence bracket(s) for flexibly bracing the fence post(s) for various fence configurations. In an illustrative example, a fence tensioning module may include a tension regulation module coupled to a tension adjusting link. For example, the fence tensioning module may adjust a position of the tension adjusting link relative to the fence tensioning module so that a tension of the tension adjusting link is adjusted. The adaptive fence bracket, for example, may include a butterfly clamp and an adaptive C-bracket having two sidearms configured to couple, for example, to fence rails and/or other tension members to form various fence bracing configurations. The butterfly clamp, for example, may include a ridge portion to engage a blade of the fence post. Various implementations may advantageously provide adaptive and secure fence construction.

The present invention teaches a modular railing, in which the various modules that constitute it can be connected to each other in a simple and aesthetically homogeneous way. This modular railing provides that even the individual modules can in turn be made with interchangeable parts. All suitably standardized, so as to preserve the possibility of using, in large quantities, identical pieces.

Each module of the railing comprises: at least a support pole placed at one end of said section of railing, and suitable for being fixed to the ground, an upper horizontal bar that connects two support poles (and coupled to them near their upper end), a lower horizontal bar that connects two support poles (and coupled to them near their base), and a plurality of vertical rods that connect said two upper and lower horizontal bars.

Corner assemblies for protective barriers for protecting assets (e.g., electrical power transformers and other substation components). The corner assembly includes two guide structures oriented perpendicular to each other. The corner assembly includes at least two protective member assemblies disposed within the two guide structures. Each protective member assembly includes two side members within protective members extending horizontally between the two side members.

A rackable panel assembly is provided. In one form, the assembly includes a plurality of vertical members each having a pair of opposed ends and at least one sidewall extending longitudinally therebetween and having a rail engagement opening defined therein; and at least one rail having a pair of opposed ends and at least sidewall extending longitudinally therebetween, said at least one sidewall defining sets of opposed openings spaced along a longitudinal length of the at least one rail, each set of opposed openings adapted to receive a vertical member of said plurality of vertical members therethrough and at least partially cover the rail engagement opening of said vertical member. The assembly further includes at least one coupling member adapted to be at least partially received in each said vertical member for pivotally coupling the vertical member to the at least one rail, said coupling member having at least one protruding portion and a biasing member for biasing the at least one protruding portion outwardly from the rail engagement opening in a direction perpendicular to the length of the at least one rail to pivotally couple the vertical member to the at least one rail.

A barrier, such as fence panel, is formed from a plurality of channel-shaped rails and plurality of upright members. Each upright member traverses the rail channels of the rails forming the barrier and is mechanically connected to the rail, such that the upright member is selectively tiltable with respect to the rail within an angular adjustment range. The mechanical connection between rail and upright member may be formed by a weld, such as a resistance weld, by a permanent adhesive, or with a fastener such as bolt or screw. A tab that extends from the rail web may be used to connect a rail to an upright member. The tab may depend from a bracket installed within the rail channel, or may be cut out and bent into the channel from the web. The tab is rotatable about an axis situated at or adjacent the web.

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.
