ABSTRACT:
A fence assembly includes modules of two-foot width. The modules are easily assembled in four-module sections to achieve whatever cumulative length of fencing is desired. A module is joined to an adjacent module by insertion of a clip into vertical, T-shaped slots formed in an adjacent module. Sections are anchored in the ground by pipes having downwardly projecting stakes. These pipe and stake assemblies are located concealed within the first and fourth module of each section. Upper and lower horizontal reinforcing members are attached along the sections. Resilient expanding anchors are used to connect the pipes, extensions, and horizontal members, there being alignable bores formed therein which receive these anchors. In one embodiment, intended for use on flat terrain, the lower reinforcing member is extended through and concealed in longitudinal bores extending through each module. Only one horizontal member is external to and visible from the finished fence of the first embodiment, which has as an important object to present an attractive, uncluttered appearance. In another embodiment, directed to installations on inclined terrain, two horizontal, external reinforcing members are provided, since alignment of bores previously employed to contain the concealed lower reinforcing member would be impossible. The angle mandated by inclination is accommodated by pivot of the reinforcing members about the anchors.
