ABSTRACT:
A generally "U" shaped self adhering plastic extrusion is firmly fitted to the bottom portion of a chain link or wooden fence without fasteners. Upstanding walls of the elongated plastic body are tapered towards the center having a neck for accepting the fence and a curved bottom to provide a channel on each side to rapidly drain off water. The tapered walls grip the fence in frictional engagement to hold the body member in place. The assembly includes short coupler members shaped to slide longitudinally in close frictional engagement over the outer surface of the body members where abutting ends are found. Couplers help secure the body members in place and cover the joint. The raised central ridge running along the length of the bottom positions the edge protector with respect to the bottom of the fence and holds the bottom of the fence elevated above drainage channels to protect the fence from moisture or termite damage.
