ABSTRACT:
A fence system including a frame and a plurality of foraminous panels attached to the frame. The foraminous panels are constructed with continuous integral strands forming a zig-zag pattern defining cell apertures therebetween which are connected by integral bonds extending between each of the strands. The cell apertures define a non-circular interior shape. A fastener of the fence system has a shank, a head attached to one end of the shank, and may include a shoulder positioned between the shank which is shaped to cooperatively engage a cell aperture. The foraminous panels are attached to the frame with a portion of each neighboring panel having an overlapping area through which fasteners are inserted and attached. A reinforcing assembly including at least one reinforcing member attached over each overlapping area and may be attached over other joints or edges to provide added security. An angled top edge cap is attached along a top end of the foraminous panels and is angled to deter climbing. The top cap panel material is self-supporting but is incapable of supporting the weight of a climber. Additionally, barbed segments are formed along a terminal edge of the top cap by shearing one of the integral strands to provide extremely sharp pointed tips.
