A panel-post connector plate 16 for connecting a fence post 12 to an adjacent fence panel 14. The panel-post connector plate 16 comprises a plate body 84 having a post-receiving aperture 86 for receiving at least part of the fence post 12 therethrough, and a fastener receiving aperture 92 for receiving a fastener to attach the plate body 84 to a panel-body of the adjacent fence panel 14. A header-rail engagement member 94 is at or adjacent to the plate body 84, the header-rail engagement member 94 receivable in the header rail 26 of the adjacent fence panel 14. A temporary rail support device, a gravel-board retaining element, a fence post and a fence are also described.

A fencing system and method includes: a first vertical post secured at least partially below ground; a second vertical post secured at least partially below the ground; a first rail member having a first slot attached to the first vertical post; a second rail member having a second slot attached to the second vertical post; a third rail member having a third slot; a fourth rail member having a fourth slot; a plurality of generally horizontally arranged cement composite slats positioned in a common plane formed by the first slot and the second slot forming a floating arrangement of horizontally positioned cement composite slats; and wherein the first rail member, the second rail member, the third rail member, and the fourth rail member form a frame for the floating arrangement of horizontally positioned cement composite slats.

A modular system of fencing components that can simulate the appearance and texture of traditional fencing materials is provided having novel connection and support components and systems to accommodate for thermal expansion while remaining strong, lightweight, easy to install and repair, and cost effective.

A customizable screen comprising spaced apart posts, each post being assemblable, a plurality of reversible slats retained between the spaced apart posts, and means for spacing and forming gaps between one or more of the plurality of slats individually or in groups at a desired distance from another one or more groups of slats. Customizable screen systems, components of the screen, kits and methods of assembly form embodiments.

A modular fencing system comprises two or more substantially vertical posts, one or more panels, and one or more track members. Each of the posts comprises abase and an upright member extending from the base. The upright member comprises a plurality of surfaces, and at least one of the surfaces defines a channel. Each of the track members comprises an attachment portion configured to engage within the channel and a receiving portion configured to engage with one or more of the panels.

An improved base shoe for use with panel installation removal systems. The improved base shoe includes dovetail grooves for use with a safety-seal and a weather seal, wherein the safety-seal and weather seal must be installed prior to installing a glass panel. The improved base shoe features a recess for use with taper plates having a continuous projection along an upper surface. The base shoe and taper plates are configured so as to provide a prying surface between the projection on the taper plates and a wall of the base shoe.

A bullet resistant security fence resists impacts from objects, such as vehicles, impacting the fence. A configuration of a bullet resistance security fence can be rapidly assembled and deployed as a riot fence that can be disassembled and subsequently repositioned. The riot fence is stabilized by securement devices that pull adjacent ballistic panels toward intermediate support posts and by adjustably positionable stabilizers that can engage the ground surface in front and in rear of the riot fence, even if mounted on steps. Alternative security fence configurations provide more economical manufacturing and installation by having a ballistic panel between thin front and rear shells. The ballistic panel can be formed of aluminum plate or from multiple layers of ballistic fabric. A ballistic panel can be formed from strips of aluminum plate welded together to form seams that are covered by lathe formed from aluminum plate to maintain ballistic integrity.

A modular privacy fence system, in particular, a modular privacy fence system having fence panels with a board-on-board appearance is disclosed. The fence system includes one or more fence panels having at least two fence panel portions that are cooperatively configured such that the fence panel portions are disposed in partial overlapping relationship such that one of the fence panel portions is offset relative to an adjacent one or ones of the fence panel portions. The fence panel portions are formed within a unitary, one-piece construction and may be in the form of plastic extrusions. The fence panels are configured for coupling to adjacent fence panels, the one or more fence panels being disposed between spaced apart upper and lower rails with the fence panels being connected, respectively, to the upper and lower rails.

A privacy and sound barrier fence system and apparatus is disclosed. The fence is erected with interlocking horizontal or vertical panels which are held in place by posts at the ends of the boards. The boards are equipped with a tongue and groove system, configured to enable the boards to interlock, forming a solid wall segment. Each segment, referred to as a module, may be connected at a 90-degree angle, to permit a turn in the fence. Adjustable mounting points on the posts allow for the modules to be disposed in a step orientation or at a slope for non-level terrain. The boards ensure that the erected fence remains aesthetically pleasing from both the front and rear of the fence. A Santa Fe embodiment of the fence system does not employ any structural rain reinforcement connecting the posts and is capable of withstanding hurricane-strength winds.

A fence support system has a catch member comprising a catch plate and a protrusion that extends from the catch plate and a retainer member comprising a retainer plate comprising an aperture, the aperture being configured to receive the protrusion in response to relative movement of at least one of the catch member and the retainer member along an insertion path. When the protrusion is received by the aperture, a curved base portion of the protrusion that does not extend through the aperture is located, as determined along the insertion path, between the catch plate and the retainer plate. The curved base portion is curved angularly about the insertion path.
