A fence assembly includes a post anchored to a solid surface. The assembly also includes a bracket mounted on a coupling surface of the post. The assembly further includes a rail secured to the bracket. The rail includes a core member. The core member further includes an upper surface, a lower surface opposite to the upper surface, and a pair of opposite lateral sides extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. The rail also includes a pair of flanges extending along the upper surface, each of the pair of flanges located on a corresponding opposite lateral side of the core member. The assembly also includes a deck board including a lower surface, wherein the upper surface of the core member of the rail and the pair of flanges of the rail are configured to support the lower surface of the deck board.

A fence structure providing a secure and resilient perimeter.

Systems and methods of installing a fencing assembly, the assembly having at least two rail posts; a bracket with a short side strap, a long side strap and a box structure with a return support flange, the bracket is in communication with one of the rail posts, a short side strap hem fits with a portion of the right side hem, a long side strap hem fits with a portion of the left side hem and a fastener is received in the short side opening and the long side opening to attach the bracket to the rail post; at least one cross beam is placed in the cross beam opening of two adjacent rails posts; and a fence panel is attached to the cross beam.

A palisade fence includes a first post spaced laterally from a second post, the first post and the second post each having a front face, a channel rail having a first terminal end fastened to the first post and a second terminal end fastened to the second post, the channel rail having a front wall, legs, returns and a slot formed between the returns opposite from the front wall, an inner plate disposed inside of the channel rail at the second terminal end, a fastener attached to the inner plate and the second post, and a plurality of pails vertically secured to the front wall.

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 fencing bracket having a box structure having opposing left and right sidewalls extending from opposing longitudinal ends forming a U-shaped cross-section, and a return support flange disposed at a lower edge thereof, wherein the left and the right sidewall have a pair of aligned cross beam openings and a first and second opening respectively. The fencing bracket includes a strap having a first fiat portion having a third opening, a middle portion (that is either rounded or rectangular), and a second flat portion having a fourth opening, the middle portion is between the first flat portion and the second flat portion. The first opening is aligned with the third opening and the second opening is aligned with the fourth opening, and a fastener passes through the first, second, third and fourth openings and is retained via another fastener at either the third or fourth opening.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to fence bracing apparatus having a tension adjusting modules to diagonally brace a fence posts and/or adaptive fence brackets for flexibly bracing the fence posts for various fence configurations and for attachment of various accessories. 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 the 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. Various implementations may advantageously provide adaptive and secure fence construction and provide options to install accessories.

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.

Systems and methods of installing a fencing assembly, the assembly having at least two rail posts; a bracket with a short side strap, a long side strap and a box structure with a return support flange, the bracket is in communication with one of the rail posts, a short side strap hem fits with a portion of the right side hem, a long side strap hem fits with a portion of the left side hem and a fastener is received in the short side opening and the long side opening to attach the bracket to the rail post; at least one cross beam is placed in the cross beam opening of two adjacent rails posts; and a fence panel is attached to the cross beam.

The present invention provides a connector attached to the end face of a supported member where fasteners are driven through the connector into the end face of the supported member, and then the supported member with the attached connector is positioned to interface on the supporting member with jutting peripheral attachment areas of the connector exposed and available for receiving fasteners that will attach the connector and the fence stringer to the supporting member.
