ABSTRACT:
The fastener of the invention as described in the specification includes a first or inner sleeve of plastic material including a bore corresponding to the outer diameter of the elongate member. The body of the inner sleeve is relatively thin and includes a taper throughout its length. An outer sleeve is provided and includes an inner bore of a complimentary taper to the outer surface of the inner sleeve. The outer sleeve is positioned over and moved in a direction opposite to the apices of the tapered surfaces of the inner and outer sleeves so that the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are respectively wedged into frictional engagement and location on the elongate member and the inner sleeve. In preferred embodiments, a variety of integrally formed engaging members may be provided on the outer sleeve member to provide for fence wire connection, foot pegs (for fencing purposes) or shelving brackets. A combination of a fiberglass fence post including at least one fastener, and a foot peg member are shown herein is also claimed.
