ABSTRACT:
An interlocking fence system is disclosed. Two spaced-apart upright posts (8, 10) attached to a grade G support a locking rail (4) with an offset locking aperture (26) and an alignment aperture (32) and further support an alignment rail (6) with an alignment aperture (40). A picket (2) has a locking slot (22) with an edge (28) of the locking aperture (26) in locking rail (4) serving as a tab to restrict axial movement when inserted therein. Alignment aperture (32) in the locking rail (4) and alignment aperture (40) in alignment rail (6) serve to restrict lateral movement of the picket (2). To support the rails (4, 6), retaining slots (24, 24′) in the locking rail (4) and retaining slots (42, 42′) in the alignment rail (6) can be retained by an edge (38, 50, 38′, 50′) in support apertures (12, 14, 16, 18) in the posts (8A,10A).
