ABSTRACT:
A fence assembly including posts and rails connected to each other by adjustable connecting members. The connecting member is a swivel bracket which permits adjustment of an end of the fence rail relative a fence post in various directions, e.g., in vertical and horizontal planes. The swivel bracket includes a base member and a body member, and the base member preferably has a flat side configured to be secured against the outer surface of a fence post. The opposite side of the base has a rounded concave depression adapted to receive one end of the bracket body member, the body member having a rounded exterior which fits within said depression. The body member has a hollow chamber therein which is open at a side thereof to receive the end of the rail. The ends of the rail are received in the bracket body chambers through the opening therein and then fixed to the brackets. Thus, it is possible to first set two fence posts, fix the swivel brackets to the posts at the desired angular position, and then secure a rail to the posts in butt-joint fashion.
