Benefits of technology
[0007]There is disclosed herein an improved modular fence system which avoids the disadvantages of prior devices while affording additional structural and operating advantages.
Problems solved by technology
Gardens are known to be expensive to maintain due not only to the cost of plants but also due to the need for upkeep and protection.
Likewise, newly planted trees can be quickly and easily destroyed if not well-protected early on.
One challenge that gardeners and tree-growers have faced is preventing animals from damaging their plants.
In particular, gnawing and chewing animals such as rabbits are known to cause substantial damage to gardens by infiltrating the gardens and eating the plants.
However, many fences can be difficult to install, particularly for those with little or no experience in fence building, because of special skills and physical strength which may be required to build them.
Also, fence building is time consuming, and in many cases may require expensive, specialized tools.
Moreover, many fences require gates to be installed in the fence, which requires moving parts and additional skill to install.
Traditional fences also are permanent, so that they may be hard to work around during yard work, such as mowing a lawn or tilling a garden.
Wire fencing has been used to prevent animals from infiltrating yard areas, but the fencing comes in heavy rolls which can be difficult to handle and the assembly of which very often requires several special posts to be driven into the ground for attachment of the resilient fencing to retain a desired shape.
Other known wire fencing can be flimsy, easily damaged, and may be limited for use over only one growing season.

A modular landscaping and gardening fence system having a plurality of panels which fasten together by a rod which also serves to stake the fence into the ground, is disclosed. The panels include first and second edges with alternating hooked and open sections such that the two opposing edges of separate panels may be joined together via a rod. The fence system may be readily erected, altered and removed. The fence system may be easily expanded or contracted by changing the number of panels used.
Description
RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims the Nov. 18, 2009 filing priority of Provisional Application No. 61 / 262,413, titled “Modular Fence System” and hereby incorporates the same by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present device relates to a fence system for use in protecting gardens, young saplings trees, and the like. Specifically, the device relates to a modular fence system for use in assorted landscaping projects.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In today's growing “green” movement, gardening of all kinds and tree planting have become popular occurrences in rural, suburban and even urban communities. Gardens are known to be expensive to maintain due not only to the cost of plants but also due to the need for upkeep and protection. Likewise, newly planted trees can be quickly and easily destroyed if not well-protected early on. One challenge that gardeners and tree-growers have faced is preventing animals from damaging their plants. In particu...
