Description
- The current invention deals with fencing, and more particularly, with fencing that is constructed such that it can be stored and transported in a dismantled packaged condition, and when on site, can be quickly and easily snapped together without tools and erected to form a barrier. The fencing can be utilized in multiple sections, wherein each section is self-contained in a portable container.
- Fences have historically been used for multiple purposes, including keeping animals and/or people within a confined area, or in the alternative, keeping animals and/or people outside of an area. Historically, fences have tended to be permanent structures, but with the mobility of the current generation, the need has arisen for non-permanent fencing structures to temporarily define a space, whether that be for construction and/or entertainment. One of the problems encountered is that the current fencing on the market usually requires trucks and/or other heavy-duty equipment to transport the fence units from one location to another. The current fencing available also requires tools to assemble or disassemble.
- Prior art known to the inventor pertinent to the present invention include:
U.S. Patent 4,266,757 granted to Kirkwood on May 12, 1981 , which discloses a corner fence clip, which in conjunction with a fence post, allows the random placement of rails, in that the attachment for the posts may be placed at any one of selected angles and the rails are snapped therein. -
