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 two 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.

A flexible fencing system capable of negotiating topographical variations of surfaces without any negative effect on the strength of the fencing system and comprised of an initial post, at least one intermediary post and an end post. Each of the initial and end posts includes a plate extending distally from the posts. The intermediary posts include two plates extending distally from the intermediary posts where the angle between the distally extending plates is 180. Braces having plates at each end are located between and connect to the posts at connection points formed by the plates of the braces secured to the plates of the posts. The connection points form a hinge providing flexibility to either incline or decline the brace relative to the preceding post, the variation of the brace inclination or declination determined by the topographical variations of a surface.

An improved fencing system can include improved fence posts. Such fence posts can include features for accommodating different types of fasteners for attachment to fence components, such as fence rails. Additionally, some fence posts, such as gateposts, can be formed with one or more pieces of other fenceposts in a fencing system. Some such improved fence posts can include concrete locks.

The invention is directed to a removable fence. The fence is designed to be sturdy and reliable, while remaining quickly and easily removable without the use of tools. The fence provides two or more fenceposts and one or more fence sections. Threaded lockbars and wingnuts are provided for each fence section. The lockbars and wingnuts may be used to temporarily affix the end of the fence section to the fencepost. A plurality of fenceposts and fence sections may be erected and joined in this manner to construct the fence. The process may be reversed to remove the fence sections from the fenceposts to prepare for an approaching storm.

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.

The present invention comprises a brace adapted to secure a fence rail 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 vertical picket fastener slot, the first fence rail brace member may form a first horizontal picket fastener slot, and the second fence rail brace member may form a second horizontal picket fastener slot.

The fence post brace system may be adapted for use with one or more fence posts positioned on a slope.

A railing structure has a railing pipe and at least one assembling block. The railing pipe is made of aluminum material and has two assembling face symmetrically adjacent to the two openings. The assembling block is made of a metal material having a hardness higher than that of aluminum. The assembling block is formed with a plate with two perpendicular side boards symmetrically disposed along two sides, each side board has a groove partially covered by a positioning tongue, and a free end of the positioning tongue faces toward the plate, each side board of the assembling block configured for being placed in a corresponding opening of the railing tube. The plate completely covers the opening, and the positioning tongue inserts under the assembling face, thereby achieving that the assembling block cannot be separated from the railing pipe in a non-destructive state.

A system for constructing ranch rail fencing with posts and rails from engineered wood products, including, but not limited to, oriented-strand board (OSB), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), fiber strand, and/or laminated strand lumber (LSL). The engineered wood products may be treated and/or encapsulated, such as zinc borate (ZB) treated wood-based composites with high resin content, coated during manufacturing on all surfaces and sides by aliphatic polyurea coatings.

A utility post is provided that includes a first flange, a second flange, and a rib. The first flange resides in a plane and the second flange resides in the same plane. The rib is perpendicular to the plane. First, second, and third apertures are also provided, the first aperture defined through the first flange, the second aperture defined through the second flange, and the third aperture defined through the rib.
