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.

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.

A railing assembly may include a first railing portion including a first channel and a second channel. The railing assembly may include a first retaining element disposed at least partially in the first channel. A second retaining element may be disposed at least partially in the second channel. A baluster may be disposed at least partially in the first railing portion. The first retaining element and the second retaining element may be configured to retain the baluster relative to the first railing portion. The railing assembly may include a second railing portion, and the baluster may be disposed at least partially in the second railing portion.

The present invention comprises a brace adapted to secure a fence rail to a fence post. This brace may optionally be installed onto an existing fence. The present invention may also be installed on a new fence. The brace may be adapted to support fences with cylindrical fence posts or rectanguloid fence posts and rectanguloid fence rails. Optional embodiments include braces for fence corner pieces. The brace may further optionally be adapted to secure fences on a steep incline. The invention includes a first fence rail brace member adapted to connect to 2 or more sides of a first fence rail; the first fence rail brace member is fused to a first side of a fence post brace member, the fence post brace member being adapted to connect to 2 or more sides of the fence post.

A unitary railing portion for a railing assembly may include a top portion, a bottom portion, a first side portion, and a second side portion. At least one aperture in the unitary railing portion may be configured for inserting a baluster along an axis of insertion between the first side portion and the second side portion. A channel may be extended from the first side portion and a cantilevered arm may be extended from the second side portion. A retaining element may be disposed at least partially in the channel. The retaining element and the cantilevered arm may be configured to retain the baluster relative to the unitary railing portion. In some examples, the unitary railing portion may be included in a railing assembly. The railing assembly may include at least one unitary railing portion and at least one baluster inserted into the unitary railing portion.
