ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a single post module which provides all the connections needed to make a fence. This module can be assembled, by unskilled persons, with other like modules to form fence posts by end-to-end assembly and connection. Each module in a post has a connector to which hollow fence rails or panel sleeves may be attached. Fence panels thus formed have a post at each end. Each module in every post has projecting hinge fins which, when overlapped with the fins of modules in similar posts, permits joining of up to four posts and their fence panels by making a pin connection at the common axis through the holes in the hinge fins at that location. This permits construction of a fence which can branch into as many as three new fences at any location. Further, because the fence comprises independent panels connected by pin connections, any panel or pair of adjacent fence panels can be converted into a gate by removal of a pin connector at any number of desired locations along any portion of the fence. The fence may be permanently or temporarily installed depending on how the pin connector is installed: the fence may be freestanding, straight or polygonal in layout, or anchored by pin connectors in set into a footing or driven into the earth.
