ABSTRACT:
A low-cost fence is essentially free from ground rot. The novel fence post of this invention capitalizes on the structural rigidity of rectangular tubular members. The fence post has a concrete reinforcing rod projecting downwardly into concrete from the tubular member and small-dimensioned lumber bolted to the tubular member and extending upwardly from the other end. This fence post makes it easy to construct a variety of fences, all of which reduce toenailing and nail bracketing by using spanning rails. Long rails span fence posts in a staggered pattern, thereby gaining additional cantilever strength while reducing the number of posts required.
