A fence assembly that permits assembly a series of main posts and secondary members for constructing a fence having a desired shape and functionality. The main post has a front and rear connector for receiving a secondary member such as a cap, a corner member, an angle member, or a gate member. The main post may define a filler receptacle for receiving infill. The main post or secondary members may define a channel for serving as a screw guide or for receiving an accessory. In use, fence installation includes installing a main post in the ground and slidably engaging a secondary member with the main post. Infill may be located within a filler receptacle defined by the main post. Additional secondary members and/or main posts may be slidably affixed together to allow a user to assemble main posts and secondary members for constructing a fence in a desired configuration.

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.

A stringer for an off-set board-on-board fence having an inverted U-section elongated body having two mutually opposed sides depending from an intermediate adjoining portion having laterally off-set and longitudinally over-lapping first and second sets of spaced board slots extending flush with inside surfaces of the opposed sides for attaching fence boards of predetermined cross-section flush to the inside surfaces of the opposed sides of the stringer. The stringer has board fastening apertures in the opposed sides of the stringer to fasten the fence boards flush with the inside surfaces of the opposed sides. The stringer has a plurality of bracket attachment apertures, preferably square, arranged longitudinally from end to end, between the first and second sets of board slots for attaching post brackets at each end of the stringer. A stringer support of each opposing bracket is within range of one bracket attachment aperture at each end of the stringer.

A fence support system includes brackets that may be attached to t-posts. The system includes modular brackets that may be configured in either a single or dual embodiment for attachment to components on multiple sides of the brackets. The bracket may also be configured with a round plate situated atop the body portion, such that the top of the bracket may be attached to components at a variety of angles. The bracket may be configured in large and small embodiments. The system includes an adjustable brace assembly configured to extend between brackets so as to support respective posts. The bracketry provides a means to hang gates from t-posts, create and support field fence corners and mid fence span supports using common t-posts, including fence intersections that are at non-90-degree angles, and other applications.

There is provided a structure for making fences, grates, guardrails, and other similar carpentry products including a plurality of stakes (10) which retain and support an upper crossbar (20) and a lower crossbar (21) by mobile connections (30, 31). Each of the stakes (10) includes an elongated central body (11) and portions of reduced length (12, 13) projecting above and below upper crossbar (20) and lower crossbar (21), respectively. The connection of an upper reduced length portion (12) and a lower reduced length portion (13) to central body (11) being formed by mobile screw connections (30, 31) of the threaded shank/threaded hole type locking each of the crossbars (20, 21) to a stake (10). The screwing action being facilitated by an appendage (40) projecting from and frangibly connected to the portions of reduced length (12, 13) adapted to break and be completely removed from the portions of reduced length when the maximum tightening torque is achieved.

A modular privacy fence, which includes an upper rail, comprises a plurality of fence picket dividers on opposed outer side surfaces of the upper rail. The modular privacy fence also includes a fastener attached to the end of the upper rail, wherein the fastener is arranged to secure the upper rail to a fence post, and a bottom rail with a trough configured to receive a bottom portion of fence pickets. In some embodiments, the upper rail is configured to receive fence pickets between adjacent dividers. In such arrangements, the first plurality of fence picket dividers on a first side of the upper rail is offset from the second plurality of fence picket dividers on the opposing side of the upper rail in a direction parallel to the upper rail.

A stringer for an off-set board-on-board fence having an inverted U-section elongated body having two mutually opposed sides depending from an intermediate adjoining portion having laterally off-set and longitudinally over-lapping first and second sets of spaced board slots extending flush with inside surfaces of the opposed sides for attaching fence boards of predetermined cross-section flush to the inside surfaces of the opposed sides of the stringer. The stringer has board fastening apertures in the opposed sides of the stringer to fasten the fence boards flush with the inside surfaces of the opposed sides. The stringer has a plurality of bracket attachment apertures, preferably square, arranged longitudinally from end to end, between the first and second sets of board slots for attaching post brackets at each end of the stringer. A stringer support of each opposing bracket is within range of one bracket attachment aperture at each end of the stringer.

A security fence includes a pair of posts and a plurality of rails supported by the pair of posts and disposed vertically spaced apart. Each rail includes a bottom wall and an upper wall, each defining a plurality of spaced apart openings. A plurality of pickets are horizontally spaced apart along the plurality of rails, each picket extends through a respective bottom opening and a respective upper opening of each rail. A slide lock bar is disposed within at least one of the plurality of rails and is supported by the bottom wall of the one of the plurality of rails. The slide lock bar traverses the plurality of pickets and is received by a notch in each picket. Engagement of the slide lock bar with the notches enables angular displacement of each picket with respect to each rail.

A modular fence system includes a plurality of modular fence assemblies. Each fence assembly includes a first post connected to a side of a panel section and a second post connected to an opposing side of the panel section. The posts and panels are adjustable to varying heights and are attachable to one another in a plurality of varied angular orientations.
