ABSTRACT:
A new and improved fence apparatus includes a plurality of hollow fence modules which are made of plastic material, which include ornamental exterior surfaces, and which slots at their edge portions. The slots are adapted to receive connector elements. A plurality of joint assemblies are adapted to be interconnected between two hollow fence modules placed edge to edge. The joint assemblies include connector elements adapted to be received in the slots of the two hollow fence modules for joining the fence modules together. The connector elements also fit into slots in the joint assemblies. Fence post assemblies are connected to the hollow fence modules for securing the hollow fence modules to a portion of the ground. The connector elements include first channels. The edge portions of the hollow fence modules include second channels which are capable of being placed in registration with the first channels. Fasteners are placed through the registered first channels and the second channels and are employed to secure the hollow fence modules to the joint assemblies. The joint assemblies include right-angled corner joint assemblies and straight-angled straight joint assemblies. The ornamental exterior surface may simulate vertically oriented wooden boards, a brick wall, or a picket fence. The fence post assemblies may include metal posts that are placed external to the hollow fence modules, either as independent fence posts or contained within joint assemblies. Alternatively, the fence post assemblies are contained internally within a hollow interior of the hollow fence modules.
