ABSTRACT:
A fence assembly comprising fence posts, fence rails and clips for connecting them together. The fence posts have at least one opening in one or more of the walls and the rail clips are sized to snap fit into the openings. The rail clip includes a rear wall with a pair of aligned side walls extending outwardly away therefrom. A pair of spaced apart flanges extend outwardly away from the outer surface of each side wall and the spaced apart flanges define a slot therebetween. A portion of the wall of the post is received within each slot when the clip is inserted into the opening. The rail is inserted into the clip and then fasteners are employed to secure the clip and rail together and, if desired, to secure the clip to the post.
