Embodiment Construction

[0023]In the following description, certain specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various disclosed embodiments. However, one skilled in the relevant art will recognize that embodiments may be practiced without one or more of these specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, features, devices and techniques associated with fences and fence construction have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring descriptions of the embodiments. For example, although not illustrated in the Figures, it will be appreciated that embodiments of the fence panels described herein may be constructed with conventional fasteners, such as nails and / or screws, of suitable size and quantity to form a rigid fence structure. In addition, although example embodiments shown in the Figures may be described in some instances as wood fence panels, it is appreciated that fence pane...

Abstract

A fence panel is provided having a plurality of sub-panel assemblies positioned in a linear arrangement and coupled together via panel rails extending between opposing lateral ends of the fence panel. Each sub-panel assembly may include a plurality of fence boards coupled together by sub-panel rails that extend between opposing lateral ends of the sub-panel assembly. The panel rails may insertably receive a respective linear arrangement of the sub-panel rails. In addition, a respective sub-panel assembly spacer may be positioned between adjacent ones of the sub-panel assemblies to separate the sub-panel assemblies from each other. The fence panel may be provided in a kit consisting of a single packaged arrangement of fence panel components comprising or consisting of the sub-panel assemblies, sub-panel assembly spacers and the panel rails.

Description

BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0001]The present disclosure is related to fences, fence panels, modular components and kits for forming fence panels and related methods.Description of the Related Art[0002]Fences are available in a variety of designs. In some cases, a fence can include fence posts and fence panels supported by and spanning between adjacent fence posts. Some fence panels are generally opaque structures, while others include lattice components for aesthetic or functional purposes. Some fence panels can be assembled on-site at an installation location, while others can be pre-fabricated and transported to an installation location. Many currently available fence panels are time-consuming and expensive to construct, and / or are too bulky or large to transport easily.BRIEF SUMMARY[0003]Embodiments of the fence panel systems, components and related methods disclosed herein enable fence panels to be constructed efficiently and with precision, thus reducing costs and improving quali...
