ABSTRACT:
A rail and post fence structure (20) includes tubular posts (22) having a plurality of apertures (50) in the side walls thereof for receiving one end of the rails (24, 26, 28, 30). Each rail has a generally channel cross-section with a web (56) and side walls (58) extending therefrom. The side walls have flanges (60) extending inwardly. The aperture in the side walls of the posts substantially correspond with the outer configuration of the rails such that assembly is accomplished by inserting the rails into the apertures of the posts. The rails are attached to the posts by use of a separator structure for spreading the side walls of the rails. This separator structure includes an elongated clip (70) having a web (72) and a pair of legs (74, 76) extending from opposing longitudinal sides of the web for engagement with the inturned flanges of the rail. The dimension of the clip is such that by aligning the clip by rotation between the inturned flanges of the rail, the side walls of the rail are forced outwardly for engagement against the post at the point of insertion of the rail.
