ABSTRACT:
A rail clip assembly for connecting a horizontal fence rail to a vertical fence post. The rail clip assembly comprises a housing that is slidably engaged with at least one mounting spacer and a first leg of an L-shaped mounting bracket. The second leg of the mounting bracket abuts the underside of the housing and supports the same. An end of the rail is inserted into a chamber formed in the housing and a fastener is used to secure the second leg of the mounting bracket, the housing and the end of the rail together. The rail clip assembly aids in preventing the rail from disengaging from the housing when a lateral force is applied to the rail.
