ABSTRACT:
Fence bottom shields prevent grass and weeds from growing up through the links or low openings in a fence. Two embodiments are disclosed. The first embodiment comprises a first strip and a second strip whose bottoms are integrally connected. Two end tabs are attached to one end of the first strip and the second strip, and a tab receiving slot is defined by the opposing end of the first strip and the second strip. A plurality of screw holes are defined by holes in the end tabs and the sidewalls of the first strip and second strip. Two fence bottom shields can be joined by inserting the end tab into the tab receiving slot and inserting two screws into the screw holes. The second embodiment comprises a first strip connected to a second strip by a bottom tab inserted into a bottom slot that is secured by a bolt and nut. Two end tabs are attached to one end of the first strip and the second strip, and a tab receiving slot is defined by the opposing end of the first strip and the second strip. Two fence bottom shields can be joined by snapping together the end tabs and the tab receiving slot. In both embodiments, a fence slot is defined by the sidewalls of the first strip and second strip.
