A fence guard including: an elongated channel-shaped body member having a planar and horizontal bottom, at least two planer sidewalls extending upwardly from edges of the horizontal bottom and forming an open top, where an open longitudinal channel is defined by the horizontal bottom and the planar sidewalls; the planar sidewalls are outwardly angled in a direction extending from the horizontal bottom to the open top; and a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings along the planar sidewalls aligned respective of one another and formed to engage with each other via a connection member; where the connection member secures the planar sidewalls to one another.

A fence stake includes a horizontal rod and a plurality of vertical rods attached to the horizontal rod or integrally formed with the horizontal rod. The plurality of vertical rods includes a set of capped rods and a set of capless rods. The set of capped rods and the set of capless rods alternate along the horizontal rod. Each capped rod includes a body portion, a cap tapering into the body portion, and a tapered end. The tapered end of the capped rod is a sharp end in one implementation. The plurality of vertical rods is perpendicular to the horizontal rod. A plurality of vertical rods includes rods of the same length. The rods are in the shape of a cylinder, a prism, a triangular prism or an oval prism, and made of metal or synthetic materials.

A fence with an integrated guard includes a fence having a bottom end and a guard attached to the lower end of the fence. The guard can wrap around the bottom end of the fence. Alternatively, the guard can extend downwardly from the fence. Still alternatively, the guard can extend between adjacent horizontal members of the fence.

A visual barrier windscreen includes a first series of monofilament threads formed in pillar stitches extending in a warp direction and a second series of monofilament threads formed in zigzag stitches extending in a first weft direction relative to the pillar stitches and binding adjacent pillar stitches. A third series of monofilament threads may be formed in zig-zag stitches extending in a second weft direction, opposite to the first weft direction, and also binding adjacent pillar stitches. A pattern of hexagonal wind-passage holes may be formed by cooperation of the pillar stitches and zig-zag stitches. At least a 75-80% visual block may be attained with the cooperation of the pillar stitches and zig-zag stitches.

An edging and vegetation guard assembly includes at least one pair of elongate first and second base members each having a vertical front wall with a generally rectangular upper portion that are installed on opposed sides of the bottom of a chain link or wire mesh fence in parallel opposed relation and form a generally rectangular enclosure along the bottom of the fence which is filled with foam insulation material for preventing a mower or line of an edger from striking the fence when mowing or edging adjacent to it, and inhibit the undesirable growth of vegetation below the bottom of the fence and between the open spaces adjacent to the bottom of the fence.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide a low-profile snake barrier that includes a plurality of sections that form a boundary. One section of the plurality of sections includes a screen-type material that is supported by a first support brace at a first end of the one section and a second support brace at a second end of the one section opposite the first end. The support braces support the screen-type material in a collapsed configuration and an erect configuration, where the erect configuration includes an upright portion of the screen-type material extending upward from the ground and an overhang portion of the screen-type material extending from the upright portion. In the collapsed configuration, the upright portion and the overhang portion are parallel to the ground. Each support brace include pivotably coupled members.

A fence vegetation barrier assembly for inhibiting vegetation from growing beneath a fence includes a plurality of panels that is each elongated. Each of the panels is positionable beneath a fence having each of the panels extending between a respective pair of fence posts to inhibit vegetation from growing beneath the fence. A plurality of first trim units is each coupled to a respective one of the panels. A plurality of second trim units is each coupled to a respective one of the panels. Each of the second trim units engages the first trim unit on an adjacent one of the panels when the panels are positioned beneath the fence to enhance the visual appeal of the fence posts.

A vegetation barrier for use beneath a fence to inhibit the growth of vegetation beneath said fence includes two vegetation barrier members and an intermediate member. Each vegetation barrier member is joinable to a fence post at one end and engages an intermediate member at the opposite end through longitudinally slidable engagement, allowing the vegetation barrier to readily accommodate uneven spacing between fence posts and further allowing the vegetation barrier to expand and contract. The vegetation barrier member and/or the intermediate member may further comprise elongated openings that allow the vegetation barrier to be secured to an underlying surface by a securement member that passes through the elongated opening and into the underlying surface, while still allowing for expansion and contraction of the vegetation barrier. Further provided are methods of covering a surface beneath a fence using said vegetation barrier.

Assemblies and methods for securing an elongate apertured fence to the ground. The fence includes an upper section which is apertured and which extends upwards from the ground, and a lower section which may or may not be apertured and which is not buried in the ground. The lower section is contacted by a footing member which is secured to the ground and which stabilizes the fence along a desired line along the ground. In some embodiments, the lower fence section is parallel to the ground, and at least part of the footing member lies between the lower fence section and the ground.

An example detachable device comprises a body with a transitional surface, a back portion, and a side portion. The body is to be affixed to a rail of a fence structure with the back portion in proximity to a surface of the rail. The side portion of the body is to be arranged proximate to a post portion of the fence structure.
