ABSTRACT:
A metal fence post for use with a wood fence system and a method of constructing a wood fence. The fence post comprises an elongated post member and a bracket attached thereto to support rails and pickets. The post member is of the type commonly available as vineyard posts and signposts, having a back wall and a pair of outwardly sloping sidewalls with short wing flanges attached thereto. The back wall and sidewalls form a channel. The bracket has a center section and a pair of outwardly sloping sidewalls that each have outwardly extended flanges. The flanges are generally in the same plane and in spaced apart relation to the center section. The center section of the bracket is received in the channel, placing the flanges in abutting relation with the wing flanges. A portion of the fence post is exposed so as to enhance the aesthetics of the fence.
