Benefits of technology
"The present invention is a fencing system for cats and other animals that can climb. It uses vertical posts and arch support brackets to create a rigid fencing system. A flexible netting is suspended between the rigid supports, which are created by the vertical posts and the arch support brackets. The flexible netting is supported vertically by the vertical posts and also in an ascending angle at the apex point by the arch support brackets. The result is a fencing system that cannot be climbed by a pet, while still being nearly transparent. The fencing system is inexpensive and easy to install."

Embodiment Construction
[0018]Although the present invention fence system can be used to confine any non-flying household pet, such as a dog, it is particularly designed to confine climbing pets, such as cats. Accordingly, when describing the purpose of design for the present invention fence system, it will be described as being used to confine a cat. This is done to present the best mode of use anticipated for the invention.
[0019]Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a sampling of the components that are the present invention fence system 10. The number of components used in the fence system 10 is directly proportional to the length of the fence to be erected. Included within the fence system 10 are a plurality of ground anchor sleeves 12, vertical posts 14, arch support brackets 16, flexible plastic netting 18, metal guard mesh 20, stakes 22 and cable ties 24. The purpose and assembly of these components is described below.
[0020]To utilize the fence system 10, a person must first layout the periphery of wh...

Abstract
A fencing system for confining climbing animals. The fencing system uses a plurality of vertical posts that are set in place along a fence line. Arch support brackets are provided that attach to the vertical posts. Each arch support bracket has an ascending section that climbs to an apex point and a descending section that descends from that apex point. Flexible plastic netting is suspended between the rigid supports that are created by the vertical posts and the arch support brackets. Flexible plastic netting is supported vertically by the vertical posts. Above the vertical posts, the flexible plastic netting is supported in an ascending” angle to an apex point by each ascending section of “the arch support brackets. From the apex point, the flexible plastic netting is supported in a descending angle to the free end of the arch support bracket.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 438,448, filed May 20, 2006, which is a continuation-in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 820,207, filed Apr. 8, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]In general, the present invention relates to fence structures for confining animals. More particularly, the present invention relates to fence structures with features that prevent climbing animals, such as cats, from climbing over the fence structure.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Many households have pets. In the United States, two of the most common household pets are dogs and cats. No two pets have the same personalities. Some pets can be trained to live outside and not wanderers away from a home or near a street. Other pets are wanderers and will readily get lost if they are left outside and unrestrained.[0006]Dogs are poor climbers, thus any fence tha...
