ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a bracket for mounting fence rails and other items to common rolled metal posts, including a flat front face and a rearwardly projecting apertured web. Most commonly these are T-shaped in cross-section. The bracket includes a front plate substantially wider than the front face of the post, two rear plates behind the front plate attached to the edges of the front plate, and two mounting plates projecting rearwardly from the edges of the rear plates. The mounting plates have apertures in registration with each other. The mounting plates are attachable to the apertured web to locate the front plate in abutting relationship with the front face of the post. The front, rear, and mounting plates define a slot shaped to received the post. The width of the front plate is sufficient to include apertures for fasteners to secure fencing members, which are not obstructed by the front face of the post. A strap can be threaded through these apertures to secure a fence member. The bracket is formed of stamped sheet metal bent to shape, or as a molded, cast, or extruded product. An advantage of the present invention is that it can be used to secure various fence members including split rail, logs, sized lumber, cables, hoses or panels to common rolled metal posts.
