AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a fencing system that includes a plurality of posts and a screen. The posts have sockets and the screen has elongate frame members that are clamped to the posts using clamps. The frame members have serrated surfaces and can be positioned in different ways to securely attach to the posts. The system also includes a base member for attaching the posts to a surface. The technical effects of the invention include improved security, durability, and flexibility in fencing design."

Problems solved by technology

One disadvantage with this and other systems is the high degree of accuracy that is required.
A small degree of error with the positioning of the posts and / or the production of the panels can result in difficulty in affixing the panels and / or gaps occurring between the panels and the posts.
The requirement for a high degree of accuracy contributes to the installation time, the cost and can impair the aesthetic appearance of the finished fence.

Embodiment Construction

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, there is provided a fencing system 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The fencing system 10 comprises a plurality of posts 12 and at least one screen 14 extending between adjacent posts. It will be appreciated that a fence 11 constructed from the fencing system of the present invention can comprise a plurality of posts 12 and a plurality of screens 14. Each post comprises a pair of sockets 16. In this embodiment, the screen 12 comprises intruder resistant mesh 18 clamped to a frame 20 comprising elongate frame members 22. One of the elongate frame members 22 is received by one of the pair of sockets 16 of one of the posts 12 and an opposing elongate frame member 22 is received by one of the pair of sockets 16 of an adjacent post 12.

Abstract

A fencing system and method comprises a plurality of posts, each post comprising a pair of sockets. A screen extends between adjacent posts and the screen comprises intruder resistant mesh clamped to a frame comprising elongate frame members. One of the elongate frame members is received by one of the pair of sockets of one of the posts and an opposing elongate frame member of the screen is received by one of the pair of sockets of an adjacent post.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a fencing system and method. In particular, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a fencing system and method for pool fences, although the present invention is not limited to this application and other applications, such as balconies, verandas, staircases and the like are envisaged. BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION [0002] Conventional fences, fencing systems and balustrade systems are used in a wide range of applications and exhibit a range of construction techniques and fastening mechanisms. Such systems typically comprise a plurality of spaced apart posts and, in one form, a plurality of panels, each panel attached between a pair of adjacent posts. In one alternative, instead of panels, an upper and lower rail extends between adjacent posts with a plurality of spaced apart balusters extending vertically between the upper and lower rails. [0003] One known system comprises a plurality of posts, which are eith...
