Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an enclosure structure that is laid at a boundary between the inside and outside of a building site or at a boundary between a private section of a condominium and a shared space such as a shared passageway, and that partitions the inside and outside of the boundary.

Background Art

[0002] As an enclosure structure that partitions the inside and outside of a boundary, such as the boundary between the inside and outside of a building site or the boundary between a private section of a condominium and a shared space such as a shared passageway, it is common to provide a fence or a block wall adjacent to the gates (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, in the case of the above-described enclosure structure, the design on the outside of the site or on the shared space side (hereinafter referred to as the "front side of the enclosure") occupies a large weight. In addition, in the above conventional enclosure structure, since the gateposts are exposed on the front side of the enclosure, it is common to use gateposts and gate doors of the same color tone to ensure a unified design.

[0005] Therefore, in order to meet the demands of the client, a plurality of gateposts and gate doors of the same color tone and the same design are prepared. However, the demands for color tones and designs are diverse depending on the client, and if one tries to meet all of them, inventory costs and manufacturing costs will be incurred, so there is a limit.

[0006] Furthermore, conventional gates have the following problems: a fixed side wing plate fixed to the side of the main gate post facing the other hinged gate post or door stop gate post, a movable side wing plate fixed to the end face of the gate, and a pivot pin that pivotally supports the movable side wing plate relative to the fixed side wing plate, and are supported by the hinged gate post via a fixed hinge on the end face, allowing them to rotate in the opening and closing direction. In other words, the hinge comprises a fixed-side wing plate fixed to the side of the hinge-side gatepost facing the other hinge-side gatepost or door-stopping gatepost, a movable-side wing plate fixed to the end face of the gate, and a pivot pin that pivotally supports the movable-side wing plate relative to the fixed-side wing plate.

[0007] Therefore, an extra gap equal to the thickness of the fixed and movable wing plates is created between the hinge gatepost and the end face of the gate, and the distance between the gateposts must be increased accordingly. On the other hand, the above problems can be solved by providing holes or grooves in the end faces of the hinge gateposts and gate doors into which the fixed or movable wing plates fit. However, this requires creating counterbore holes or grooves in the end faces of the hinge gateposts and gate doors, which increases the cost of processing. Furthermore, in the gate structure using the above-mentioned hinges, if it becomes necessary to change the inward-opening (outward-opening) gate to an outward-opening (inward-opening) gate, unless the gateposts are reversed, it will require extensive construction work, such as reversing the entire gate, which will be costly.

[0008] On the other hand, an enclosure structure 100, as shown in Figure 26, is already on the market. In other words, the enclosure structure 100 includes a gate 200, a gate door 300, a hinge gate post 400, and a door stop gate post 500.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the gate door 300 on the side of the hinge gate post 400 faces the upper and lower (only the upper side is shown in the diagram) bearing arms 600 which extend from the hinge gate post 400 toward the door stop gate post 500. Furthermore, the gate 300 is supported by the hinged gate post 400 via the bearing arm 600, with a pivot shaft 610 provided on the bearing arm 600 fitting into bearing holes (not shown) provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the end of the gate 300 on the hinged gate post 400 side, allowing it to rotate 90° inward and outward around the pivot shaft 610.

[0010] Therefore, this gate 200 can be easily converted to open inward or outward simply by replacing the components that make up the door stop portion, which are attached to the gate door side and the door stop gate post side, with components for inward opening or outward opening, respectively. However, in the case of this gate 200, as with the enclosure structures in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the gateposts are exposed on the front side of the enclosure, which presents problems in terms of increased inventory and manufacturing costs in order to meet the diverse demands of the client.

[0011] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide an enclosure structure that has a clean design when viewed from outside the boundary, and that can be changed to a wide variety of designs at low cost without having to hold a large amount of inventory. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] To achieve the above objective, the enclosure structure of the present invention comprises a gate having a hinged gate post and a gate door rotatably supported via the hinged gate post, and a fence provided at least adjacent to the hinged gate post of the gate, and is provided to separate the inside and outside of a desired boundary, wherein the fence has a fence body and a support post that supports the fence body in an upright position, and the fence body is supported by the fence base in a manner that overlaps the surface of the fence base facing outward toward the boundary (hereinafter referred to as the "outward boundary direction surface"), and constitutes the outermost surface of the fence body The fence surface is fitted with a decorative material, and when viewed from outside the boundary, at least the end of the decorative material is fitted over the outer surface of the gatepost facing the boundary, and the gate is pivotally supported so that the end on the gatepost side is supported by the gatepost, via upper and lower bearing arms supported by the gatepost, and the gate is pivotally supported so that it can rotate at an angle of approximately 90° in both the inward and outward directions of the boundary, and when the gate is rotated to the closed position, the outer surface of the gate is on the fence surface makeup It is characterized by being located in the same plane as the outer boundary surface of the material.

[0013] In this invention, "approximately 90°" means not only exactly 90°, but also includes variations of around 5°, and also includes cases where the rotation angle differs slightly between the inside and outside due to manufacturing tolerances, etc. In the present invention, the boundary is arbitrarily defined and not particularly limited, but examples include the part that separates the site of a house from the outside of the site, the part that separates the private unit of an apartment building from a common space such as a shared corridor, and the part that separates a courtyard from an outer garden. For example, the boundary line may be aligned with the outermost surface of the fence surface finishing material and the gate surface finishing material, or it may be located in the center in the inward-outward direction of the enclosure structure.

[0014] In the enclosure structure of the present invention, the gate may consist of one or two gate doors. In other words, if there is one gate, the gate is pivotally supported so that one end of the gate is supported by an upper and lower bearing arm attached to a hinge gate post, and the other end of the gate abuts against a door stop on a door stop gate post to close it. On the other hand, in the case of two gate doors, one end of each of the two gate doors is pivotally supported by a pair of hinged gate posts facing each other via upper and lower bearing arms, and the gate doors are closed with the other end faces of both gate doors almost touching.

[0015] The enclosure structure of the present invention is not particularly limited, but the gate may have a frame portion and a gate surface decorative material that is provided so as to overlap the outer surface of the boundary of the frame portion and constitutes the outermost surface of the gate, and the gate surface decorative material and the fence surface decorative material may be arranged horizontally at the same height. In other words, with the above configuration, the surface of the enclosure structure will have a clean, flat appearance.

[0016] The enclosure structure of the present invention is not particularly limited, but the gatepost may also serve as a support post that supports one end of the fence body. In other words, by using the above configuration, the number of support columns can be reduced, thereby lowering costs and achieving a clean, streamlined design.

[0017] The enclosure structure of the present invention is not particularly limited, but when the gate is closed, the gap between the gate and the fence body may be positioned such that, when the gate is viewed from outside the boundary, it faces the gatepost wall surface of the hinge gatepost. In other words, with the above configuration, it becomes possible to conceal the gate from view from outside the boundary through the gap between the gate and the fence itself, and the gap is less noticeable, resulting in a better appearance.

[0018] The enclosure structure of the present invention is not particularly limited, but the fence body comprises vertical attachments with screw holes drilled at a desired pitch, and a plurality of fence surface decorative materials, the plurality of fence surface decorative materials being screwed into the screw holes. ofThey are fixed to the vertical attachment in a state of being arranged vertically at the pitch via, and the door has a frame portion. This frame portion includes a vertical attachment in which screw through holes are formed at a desired pitch, and a plurality of door surface finishing materials. The plurality of door surface finishings The material It may be configured to be fixed to the vertical attachment in a state of being arranged vertically at the pitch via screws screwed into the screw through holes. That is, with the above configuration, the vertical attachment can easily and accurately position-fix the door surface finishing material and the fence surface finishing material in a state of being arranged vertically at a desired pitch.

[0019] The enclosure structure of the present invention is not particularly limited, but it may be configured to include a cover material that makes the vertical attachment invisible when viewed from the inside of the boundary. That is, with the above configuration, the screws for fixing the door surface finishing material and the fence surface finishing material are not visible from the inside of the boundary, and the appearance is good.

Effects of the Invention

[0020] The enclosure structure of the present invention comprises, as described above, a gate having a hinged gate post and a gate door rotatably supported via the hinged gate post, and a fence provided at least adjacent to the hinged gate post of the gate, and is provided to separate the inside and outside of a desired boundary along the boundary, wherein the fence has a fence body and a support post that supports the fence body in an upright position, and the fence body has a fence base and is supported by the fence base in a manner that overlaps the surface of the fence base facing outward from the boundary (hereinafter referred to as the "outward boundary direction surface"), and the outermost surface of the fence body The fence is equipped with a decorative surface material, and when viewed from outside the boundary, at least the end of the decorative surface material of the fence is positioned so as to overlap the outer-boundary side of the hinge gate post, and the gate is pivotally supported so as to be able to rotate at an angle of approximately 90° in both the inward and outward directions of the boundary, around a pivot point located at a position offset outward from the center line of the hinge gate post in the inward and outward directions of the boundary, via upper and lower bearing arms supported by the hinge gate post, and when the gate is rotated to the closed position, the outer-boundary side of the gate is positioned so as to overlap the fence surface makeup Since it is positioned in the same plane as the outer boundary surface of the material, it produces the following excellent effects.

[0021] In other words, since the gate is pivotally positioned so that it can rotate at a 90° angle in either direction, inside or outside the boundary, it can be used to open both inward and outward, and when open, it can secure a passage of the maximum possible width. In other words, in a gate where a pair of gate doors close together with one side of each door abutting against the other, releasing the drop bolt allows both gate doors to be rotated approximately 90° inward or outward from their closed position, thereby creating a passageway with the maximum possible width, close to the distance between the two gateposts. Furthermore, in a gate having a single gate door, a hinged gate post that pivotally supports one end of the single gate door, and a gate post equipped with a door stop that receives the other end of the single gate door, the gate can be easily changed to open inward or outward simply by replacing the components constituting the door stop portion attached to the gate door side and the gate post side with components for inward opening or outward opening, respectively. In both cases, the gate door can be rotated by approximately 90°, and when the gate door is opened, a passage with the maximum width close to the distance between the two gate posts can be secured.

[0022] Moreover, since the gate is only pivotally supported at the top and bottom ends, there are no obstacles in the gap between the gateposts and the gate, which allows for a smaller distance between the gateposts and the gate, and also improves the appearance. Furthermore, since at least the fence surface finishing material covers the side of the gatepost facing outward from the boundary, the outer side of the gatepost is difficult to see from outside the boundary, and the design of the enclosure structure surface can be easily changed by changing only the surface finishing material without changing the design of the gatepost. When the gate is closed, the outer boundary side of the gate is aligned with the surface of the fence material, resulting in a clean, flat appearance for the enclosure structure.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to its embodiments. Figures 1 to 19 show a first embodiment of the enclosure structure of the present invention.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this enclosure structure A is, for example, installed along the boundary between the site and the outside of the site to separate the inside and outside of the boundary, and is equipped with a gate 1a and fences 2a, 2a installed on both sides of the gate 1a. Gate 1a is equipped with a gate door 3a, a hinge gate post 4a, and a door stopper gate post 5a.

[0026] As shown in Figures 2, 4, 8, or 9, the gate 3a comprises a frame 31 and numerous gate surface decorative materials 32. As shown in Figure 9, the frame portion 31 is provided with bearing holes 31a on the upper and lower surfaces (only the upper surface is shown in Figure 9) of the suspension end that forms the suspension end of the frame portion 31.

[0027] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9, the frame portion 31 is equipped with a door stop portion 31b at the end on the side of the door stop gatepost 5a. The door stopper portion 31b has a tapered surface 31c on the door stop side, which gradually approaches the hinge side from the back side towards the front side, and the tip of the latch lock 31d extends and retracts from a part of it.

[0028] All gate surface decorative materials 32 are cylindrical bodies 32a with the same dimensions and size and rectangular cross-section, with both ends closed by end caps 32b. They are arranged parallel to each other at equal pitches in the vertical direction and horizontal in the longitudinal direction, overlapping the front side of the frame 31, and are supported and fixed to the frame 31 via vertical attachments 80, which will be described later, so that their outer boundary surfaces are in the same plane. As shown in Figure 9, the gate 3a has bearing holes 31a located at the top and bottom of its hinge end, which are sandwiched between the upper and lower bearing arms 7a and 7b, which will be described later. The pivot shaft 71 provided on the bearing arms 7a and 7b fits into the bearing hole 31a and is supported by the hinge gate post 4a via the bearing arms 7a and 7b. As shown in Figure 8, the gate is pivotally supported so that it can rotate approximately 90° both inward and outward around the pivot shaft 71.

[0029] As shown in Figure 6, the hinge gate post 4a comprises a gate post body 41 and a cap 42. The gatepost body 41 is roughly pentagonal in shape, with one corner of the rectangular shape cut out along a 45° angled inclined surface 41a. End support grooves 41b for the upper and lower bearing arms 7a and 7b, which will be described later, are provided continuously in the vertical direction in the center of the inclined surface 41a. The cap 42 is designed to be screwed to the gate post body 41, covering the upper opening end of the gate post body 41 from above.

[0030] Although not shown in the figures, the upper and lower bearing arms 7a and 7b each have a gatepost fixing portion at one end that fits into the end support groove 41b of the gatepost body 41, allowing them to slide, and although not shown in the figures, they can be fixed to the gatepost body 41 at a desired height position via screws. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6, the bearing arms 7a and 7b extend from the hinge gate post 4a toward the outside of the boundary at a 45° angle relative to the closed gate door 3a, and are equipped with a pivot shaft 71 at the other end that fits into the bearing hole 31a of the gate door 3a. In other words, the pivot shaft 71 is positioned at a location offset outward from the boundary from the center line L that passes through the center of the suspension gate post 4a in the direction of inside and outside the boundary. Then, when the gate door 3a, which is supported by the hinge gate post 4a via the bearing arms 7a and 7b, is closed, as shown in Figure 6, the gap S between the gate door 3a and the fence body 21 of the fence 2 (described later) faces the hinge gate post 4a.

[0031] As shown in Figure 7, the gate post 5a comprises a gate post body 51 with a rectangular outline in plan view and a cap 52, with a gate stop member 53 fixed to the wall surface on the gate door 3a side of the gate post body 51. The door stopper member 53 has a tapered surface 53a on the side facing the gate door 3a that abuts against the tapered surface 31c of the gate door 3a, and is provided with a stopper hole (not shown) into which the latch lock 31d fits and holds the gate door 3a in a closed position. The outer boundary side of the gate post 5a, when viewed from outside the boundary, is hidden by gate post surface decorative material 55, which is the same number as the gate surface decorative material 32, has a length approximately the same as the width dimension of the gate post 5a, and is positioned at the same height as the gate surface decorative material 32. Furthermore, when the gate door 3a is closed, the outer boundary side of the gate post surface decorative material 55 is entirely in the same plane as the outer boundary side of the gate door surface decorative material 32.

[0032] Each fence 2a comprises a fence body 21 and a single support post 22 that supports the fence body 21. The fence body 21 comprises a fence base 20 and fence surface decorative materials 21a arranged in the same number as the gate surface decorative materials 32, at the same height and pitch as the gate surface decorative materials 32. Furthermore, when the gate 3a is closed, all fence surface decorative materials 21a are positioned such that their boundary-outward-facing surfaces are in the same plane as the boundary-outward-facing surfaces of the gate surface decorative material 32.

[0033] As shown in Figure 6, the fence 2a on the side of the hinge gate post 4a is supported by a support post 22 at the end of the fence body 21 opposite to the hinge gate post 4a, and the end of the fence body 21 on the side of the hinge gate post 4a is supported by the gate post body 41 of the hinge gate post 4a via a fixing bracket 36, with the fence body 21 overlapping the outer boundary surface 41c of the hinge gate post 4a. In other words, the gate post body 41 of the hanging gate post 4a also serves as a support post for one of the fences 2a.

[0034] On the other hand, the fence 2a on the side of the door stopper gatepost 5a is supported by the gatepost body 51 of the door stopper gatepost 5a via a fixing bracket 25, as shown in Figure 7. In other words, the gatepost body 51 of the door-stopping gatepost 5a also serves as a support post for the other fence 2a.

[0035] Next, the assembly method for the fence body 21 will be explained in order of steps, based on Figures 11 to 19. (1) As shown in Figures 11 and 12, three vertical attachments 80 are provided that constitute a part of the fence base 20, with hollow cylindrical side wall portions 80a on both sides of the bottom portion 80b, and screw holes 80c drilled in the bottom portion 80b at the same intervals as the vertical spacing of the fence surface decorative material 21a. (2) As shown in Figures 13 and 14, vertical attachments 80 are aligned with the corresponding screw holes 80c at three locations along the longitudinal direction of each fence surface decorative material 21a, and with each attachment perpendicular to the fence surface decorative material 21a, tapping screws 82 are screwed into the back wall of each fence surface decorative material 21a through the screw holes 80c in the bottom 80b to fix the fence surface decorative material 21a to the vertical attachments 80. In other words, this fixing method ensures that each fence surface decorative material 21a is supported by the three vertical attachments 80 while being held at intervals corresponding to the pitch of the screw holes 80c. Furthermore, the caps 81 shown in Figure 11 are fitted onto the upper and lower ends of the vertical attachment 80. (3) As shown in Figure 16, vertical battens 83 are prepared that are shorter than the vertical attachments 80 by the amount of space required to mount the upper and lower attachments 85 and upper and lower furring strips 86, which constitute part of the fence base 20 and will be described later as part of the fence base. With mounting space remaining above and below each vertical attachment 80, as shown in Figure 15, the fixing parts 83b that protrude from both sides of the vertical battens 83 are aligned with the top surface of the side wall portion 80a of the vertical attachment 80, and then tapping screws 84 are screwed from the fixing part 83b side into pilot holes 80d provided on the top surface of the side wall portion 80a to fix the vertical battens 83 to each vertical attachment 80. (4) As shown in Figure 16, an attachment 85 for the upper furring strips, which constitute a part of the fence base 20, is attached along the upper surface of each vertical slat 83, and although not shown, an attachment 85 for the lower furring strips is attached to the lower surface of the vertical slat 83. (5) As shown in Figure 17, the upper furring strip 86, which constitutes part of the fence base 20, is slid into the upper furring strip attachment 85. Although not shown, the lower furring strip 86 is similarly slid into the lower furring strip attachment 85. (6) As shown in Figure 18, a cover material 87 with a U-shaped cross section is placed over the vertical attachment 80 and vertical rail 83 between the upper and lower furring strips 86, such that the locking protrusions 87a, 87a provided at the bottom of the cover material 87 engage with the engaging protrusions 83a, 83a that protrude from the vertical rail 83, thereby forming the fence body 21 so that the vertical attachment 80 and vertical rail 83 are not visible from inside the boundary.

[0036] On the other hand, in the case of the gate 3a, each gate surface decorative material 32 is supported at the same vertical pitch as the fence surface decorative material 21a via vertical attachments 80 which have the same shape as the vertical attachments 80 of the fence surface decorative material 21a. As shown in Figure 10, the gates are then screw-fixed to the frame portion 31 via support fittings 38 which constitute part of the frame portion 31, and then covered by a cover material 39 which also constitutes part of the frame portion 31 so that the screw fixings are not visible.

[0037] As described above, this enclosure structure A has the following excellent effects. (1) Since the gate 3a is pivotally positioned so that it can rotate at a 90° angle in either direction inward or outward of the boundary, it can be easily changed to an outward-opening configuration simply by replacing the door stop 31b, which includes the latch lock 31d on the gate side, and the door stop member 53 on the gate post side with door stop members for outward opening, and the widest possible passage can be secured when the gate is open. (2) Since the gate door 3a is pivotally supported only at its upper and lower ends, there are no obstacles in the gap between the hinge gate post 4a and the gate door 3a, which reduces the distance between the hinge gate post 4a and the gate door 3a and also improves the appearance. (3) The gap S between the gate 3a and the fence body 21 faces the hinge gate post 4a, so the inside of the boundary cannot be seen through the gap S, which looks good. (4) Since the fence body 21 overlaps the boundary-outward-facing surface 41c of the hinge gate post 4a, the boundary-outward-facing surface 41c of the hinge gate post 4a is difficult to see from outside the boundary, and the surface design of the enclosure structure A can be easily changed by simply changing the color, dimensions, combination, and spacing of the gate door surface decorative material 32, fence surface decorative material 21a, and door stopper gate post surface decorative material 51 without changing the design of the hinge gate post 4a. In other words, it is possible to manufacture a large number of enclosure structures with different designs at low cost without having to maintain a large inventory of parts. (5) When the gate 3a is closed, the outer surface of the gate surface decorative material 32 is located in the same plane as the surface of the fence surface decorative material 21a, so that the surface of the enclosure structure A has a neat and flat appearance when viewed from outside the boundary. (6) The gate 3a is provided so as to overlap the frame portion 31 and the outer boundary surface of the frame portion 31, and has a gate surface decorative material 32 that constitutes the outermost surface of the gate 3a, and since the gate surface decorative material 32 and the fence surface decorative material 21a are aligned horizontally at the same height, the surface of the enclosure structure A has a flat and neat appearance. (7) Since the hinge gate post 4a and the door stop gate post 5a also serve as support posts that support one end of the fence body 21, the number of support posts 22 can be reduced, thereby lowering costs and providing a clean, streamlined design. (8) The vertical attachment 80 has screw holes pre-drilled at the bottom 80b of the vertical attachment 80 at a desired pitch for the upper and lower gate surface decorative materials 32 (fence surface decorative materials 21a), so that the upper and lower gate surface decorative materials 32 (fence surface decorative materials 21a) are held at the desired pitch. Thus, the gate surface decorative materials 32 and fence surface decorative materials 21a can be easily and accurately positioned and fixed in a state aligned at the desired pitch in the vertical direction. (9) Since the vertical attachment 80 is covered by the cover material 39, the tapping screws 82 that secure the gate surface decorative material 32 and the fence surface decorative material 21a are not visible from the inside of the boundary, resulting in a good appearance. (10) Since the pivot shaft 71 is positioned offset outward from the central axis of the hanging gate post 4a in the boundary direction, the thickness of the frame 31 of the gate door 3a can be reduced, thereby reducing costs.

[0038] Figure 20 shows a second embodiment of the enclosure structure of the present invention. As shown in Figure 20, this enclosure structure B is the same as the first embodiment except that the gate 1b has the same hinge gate posts 4a as in the first embodiment erected with their inclined surfaces 41a facing each other, the gate door 1a of the first embodiment is pivotally supported on one hinge gate post 4a by bearing arms 7a and 7b so as to rotate approximately 90° in the inward and outward directions of the boundary, and the other hinge gate post 4a is equipped with a door stop similar to the door stop 53 of the door stop gate post 5a of the first embodiment, and the gate door 3b equipped with a drop bolt 13 is pivotally supported on the other hinge gate post 4a by bearing arms 7a and 7b so as to rotate approximately 90° in the inward and outward directions of the boundary.

[0039] This enclosure structure B is as described above and has the same effects as the enclosure structure A of the first embodiment described above. In addition, by pulling up the drop bolt 13, the gates 3a and 3b on both sides can be opened inward or outward.

[0040] Figures 21 and 22 show a third embodiment of the enclosure structure of the present invention. As shown in Figures 21 and 22, this enclosure structure C is the same as the first embodiment described above, except that the fences 2b, 2b on both sides are each equipped with support posts 22 at both ends, and the fence body 21 is not fixed to the hinge gate post 4a and the door stop gate post 5a with fixing fittings 25 or fixing fittings 36, but is supported only by these two support posts 22 on the concrete floor or the like.

[0041] Figures 23 and 24 show a fourth embodiment of the enclosure structure of the present invention. As shown in Figures 23 and 24, this enclosure structure D is the same as that of the first embodiment described above, except for the points described below.

[0042] In other words, the upper ends of the hinge gatepost 4b and the door stop gatepost 5a of the enclosure structure D are approximately aligned with the upper end of the fence body 2a. The hinged gate post 4b is equipped with a gate post body 45 that is square in plan view, and the upper bearing arm 7c is integrated with a cover that closes the upper end of the gate post body 45 of the hinged gate post 4b.

[0043] Furthermore, the lower bearing arm 7d is supported by the gate post body 45 by fitting its base end (not shown) into the gate post body 45. The other components are the same as in the first embodiment. Note that 1c is a gate.

[0044] Figure 25 shows the fence body of the fifth embodiment of the enclosure structure of the present invention. As shown in Figure 25, this enclosure structure is the same as the fence body 21 of the first embodiment described above, except that the fence body 24 is equipped with three types of fence surface decorative materials 24a, 24b, and 24c with different vertical dimensions, and these fence surface decorative materials 24a, 24b, and 24c are fixed to the fence base in a vertical arrangement as shown in Figure 25. Furthermore, although not shown in the illustration, the gate surface finishing material and the gatepost surface finishing material of this enclosure structure are also aligned vertically with the fence surface finishing materials 24a, 24b, and 24c, and their outer boundary faces are located in the same plane. In other words, this enclosure structure is the same as the first embodiment described above, except that the design of the fence and gate differs.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. In the embodiments described above, the gatepost body of the hinged gatepost was a pentagon or a square in plan view, but it may also be a hexagon, a circle, or an ellipse. In the above embodiment, the outer boundary side of the gatepost was decorated with a short gatepost surface decorative material. However, the fence surface decorative material of the fence on the gatepost side may be made to protrude from the fence base material toward the gatepost, so that the protruding portion overlaps the outer boundary side of the gatepost.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the bearing arm was provided so as to extend from the hinge gate post at a 45° angle to the closed gate door. However, it is not particularly limited as long as the pivot axis can be shifted, and for example, it may be L-shaped in plan view. In the above embodiment, the fence surface decorative material, gate surface decorative material, and door stopper gate post surface decorative material were arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction with their longitudinal direction horizontal. However, the fence surface decorative material, gate surface decorative material, and door stopper gate post surface decorative material may be arranged in a vertical grid pattern with their longitudinal direction oriented vertically, or they may be arranged in a diagonal grid pattern with their longitudinal direction inclined at a certain angle to the vertical, or the fence surface decorative material, gate surface decorative material, and door stopper gate post surface decorative material of the fence and gate may each be made of a single plate-like body.
