ABSTRACT:
A fence connector and a method for connecting round wooden posts to round wooden rails to make a fence. The connector is a unitary sheet metal connector having a central bridge portion and a pair of connection flanges, one at each end of the bridge portion. The central bridge portion is apertured for fastening to the post or rail and the connection flanges are apertured for fastening to the other fence part (i.e. the rail or post). The connector may be preformed with its connection flanges formed into an arc about an axis parallel to the length of the connector to generally conform to the periphery of a rail or post or, in accordance with the method of the invention, the flanges may be bent around the rail or post to form the arc as the fence is being assembled.
