Adaptable fence bracing
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.

FENCE PANEL SYSTEM
A fence panel system includes a plurality of fence panels positioned in a line, each of the fence panels coupled together in series by a plurality of rail members that extend horizontally between a plurality of fence posts, where each of the fence panels having a first side edge and a second side edge opposite the first side edge with each of the side edges configured to receive a side edge of a second fence panel to form a vertical connection, and where each of the fence panels includes a plurality of mesas traversing from the first side edge to the second side edge. The fence panel system can further include a plurality of fasteners to connect the plurality of fence panels to the plurality of rail members.
Fence system
A fence panel and method of assembly. The fence panel includes end brackets that are affixed to panel facing sides of fence uprights. A top rail and a base rail span between the uprights. Panel and spacer members are secured between the top and base rails. The fence panel construction method includes constructing lengths of fence by first installing uprights in the ground, then affixing the base rail to the uprights. A magnetic strip spans between the uprights. Spacers and panels are supported by the base rail and by the magnetic strip. After placement of the spacers and panels, a top rail is positioned between the uprights and adjacent to upper ends of the spacers and panels, thereby securing the spacers and panels between the top rail and the base rail to form a fence panel.
SPRING ACTION CLIP FOR BALUSTERS
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.
FENCE RAIL DEVICE
A fence rail device includes a rail elongated between a first end and a second end. The rail has an outer wall having a top section, a pair of side sections, and a bottom section defining a hollow interior. A slot extends through the bottom section to define a pair of lateral bottom edges. A top cross wall is spaced from the top section of the outer wall to define an upper interior space and a bottom cross wall is positioned between the top cross wall and the bottom section to define a middle interior space and a lower interior space. Each of a pair of lower walls extends between the bottom section and the bottom cross wall proximate to a respective one of the side sections. Each of a pair of medial walls extends between the bottom cross wall and the top cross wall.

A plurality of cross walls includes a top cross wall, a middle cross wall, and a bottom cross wall defining a top interior space, a bottom interior space, an upper middle interior space, and a lower middle interior space within the rail. Each of a pair of lower interior walls extends between the bottom section and the bottom cross wall proximate to a respective one of the side sections. Each of a pair of medial interior walls extends between the bottom cross wall and the lower middle cross wall.
FENCE RAIL END SUPPORT SYSTEM
A fence rail end support system includes a mounting plate having a plurality of mounting apertures wherein the mounting plate is configured for being attached to a fence post by fasteners extending through the mounting apertures. Each of a pair of support panels extends perpendicularly from the mounting plate wherein an end of a fence rail is positionable between the pair of support panels. Each of a plurality of connection slots extends through the pair of support panels to receive a connector to secure an associated one of the pair of support panels to the fence rail.
FENCE BRACE SYSTEM
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 alternative fence post arrangements such as those having a fence rail positioned above and supported by the fence post and those defining a single channel for receiving a fence rail.
Fence brace system adapted for use with cylindrical fence posts
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 first fence rail brace member adapted to connect to two or more sides of a first fence rail, a second fence rail brace member adapted to connect to two or more sides of a second fence rail, and a fence post member adapted to connect to two or more sides of a fence post. The fence post brace member may form a picket fastener slot for use in affixing a picket to the fence post. The fence post brace system may be adapted for use with cylindrical fence posts or rectangular fence posts.
