ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to landscaping structures and more particularly to a landscaping structure system that includes a number of straight fill timber sections, a number of right angle fill timber sections, a number of straight accessory timber sections, a number of right angle accessory timber sections, a length of sprinkler feed hose having a first diameter, and a number of vertical anchor members having a second diameter; each of the number of straight fill timber sections, the number of right angle fill timber sections, the number of straight accessory timber sections, and the number of right angle accessory timber sections having a sprinkler feed hose channel formed into an interior sidewall adjacent each end thereof being of a feed hose channel diameter sized to friction fit receive section of the length of sprinkler feed hose, each sprinkler feed hose channel having a semicircular channel cross section of with an angular displacement of between 190 and 220 degrees such that a section of sprinkler feed hose is held in place once snap fit therein; each of the number of straight fill timber sections, the number of right angle fill timber sections, the number of straight accessory timber sections, and the number of right angle accessory timber sections having a plurality of vertical anchor member receiving apertures formed therethrough between top and bottom timber section surfaces and positioned such that at least one vertical anchor member receiving aperture of one timber section is alignable with at least one vertical anchor member receiving aperture of a second timber section supported thereon to build a structure to allow a vertical anchor member to be positioned through the aligned vertical anchor member receiving apertures and into the ground to anchor multiple timber sections in place; each of the number of straight accessory timber sections and the number of right angle accessory timber sections also including a conduit channel formed into a bottom surface thereof along the entire length thereof, an accessory positioning cavity formed into a top surface thereof, a removable cap member for covering an opening through the top surface into the accessory positioning cavity, and a connecting passageway formed in connection between the accessory positioning cavity and the conduit channel.
BACKGROUND ART
It is often desirable to construct landscaping structures on property to decorate around buildings and the like. It would be desirable, therefore, to have a landscaping structure system that would allow individuals to rapidly build landscape structures. Because the landscape structures are typically exposed to inclimate weather conditions, it would be a further benefit if the system included timber members formed from a plastic material that could withstand long exposure to the elements. Also, because landscape structures are often associated with other landscaping elements such as sprinkler systems and ornamental lighting systems, it would be a benefit if the landscaping system included timbers easily adapted for receiving and holding landscaping accessories such as sprinkler heads and light bulbs and sockets.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a landscaping structure system that includes timbers easily adapted for receiving and holding landscaping accessories such as sprinkler heads and light bulbs and sockets.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a landscaping structure system that includes a number of straight fill timber sections, a number of right angle fill timber sections, a number of straight accessory timber sections, a number of right angle accessory timber sections, a length of sprinkler feed hose having a first diameter, and a number of vertical anchor members having a second diameter; each of the number of straight fill timber sections, the number of right angle fill timber sections, the number of straight accessory timber sections, and the number of right angle accessory timber sections having a sprinkler feed hose channel formed into an interior sidewall adjacent each end thereof being of a feed hose channel diameter sized to friction fit receive a section of the length of sprinkler feed hose, each sprinkler feed hose channel having a semicircular channel cross section of with an angular displacement of between 190 and 220 degrees such that a section of the length of sprinkler feed hose is held in place once snap fit therein; each of the number of straight fill timber sections, the number of right angle fill timber sections, the number of straight accessory timber sections, and the number of right angle accessory timber sections having a plurality of vertical anchor member receiving apertures formed therethrough between top and bottom timber section surfaces and positioned such that at least one vertical anchor member receiving aperture of one timber section is alignable with at least one vertical anchor member receiving aperture of a second timber section supported thereon to build a structure to allow a vertical anchor member to be positioned through the aligned vertical anchor member receiving apertures and into the ground to anchor multiple timber sections in place; each of the number of straight accessory timber sections and the number of right angle accessory timber sections also including a conduit channel formed into a bottom surface thereof along the entire length thereof, an accessory positioning cavity formed into a top surface thereof, a removable cap member for covering an opening through the top surface into the accessory positioning cavity, and a connecting passageway formed in connection between the accessory positioning cavity and the conduit channel.
Accordingly, a landscaping structure system is provided. The landscaping structure system includes a number of straight fill timber sections, a number of right angle fill timber sections, a number of straight accessory timber sections, a number of right angle accessory timber sections, a length of sprinkler feed hose having a first diameter, and a number of vertical anchor members having a second diameter; each of the number of straight fill timber sections, the number of right angle fill timber sections, the number of straight accessory timber sections, and the number of right angle accessory timber sections having a sprinkler feed hose channel formed into an interior sidewall adjacent each end thereof being of a feed hose channel diameter sized to friction fit receive a section of the length of sprinkler feed hose, each sprinkler feed hose channel having a semicircular channel cross section of with an angular displacement of between 190 and 220 degrees such that a section the length of sprinkler feed hose is held in place once snap fit therein; each of the number of straight fill timber sections, the number of right angle fill timber sections, the number of straight accessory timber sections, and the number of right angle accessory timber sections having a plurality of vertical anchor member receiving apertures formed therethrough between top and bottom timber section surfaces and positioned such that at least one vertical anchor member receiving aperture of one timber section is alignable with at least one vertical anchor member receiving aperture of a second timber section supported thereon to build a structure to allow a vertical anchor member to be positioned through the aligned vertical anchor member receiving apertures and into the ground to anchor multiple timber sections in place; each of the number of straight accessory timber sections and the number of right angle accessory timber sections also including a conduit channel formed into a bottom surface thereof along the entire length thereof, an accessory positioning cavity formed into a top surface thereof, a removable cap member for covering an opening through the top surface into the accessory positioning cavity, and a connecting passageway formed in connection between the accessory positioning cavity and the conduit channel.
