A modular fence system. The system includes fence planks designed for insertion into open channels of upper and lower fence rails. The fence rails are supported in a horizontal orientation between intermittent fence posts, with the fence planks extending vertically between the rails. The planks include resilient protrusions, called plank-projections, at their upper ends. The plank-projections are designed to engage with channel-projections formed in the open channels of the upper fence rail and lower fence rail, to inhibit inadvertent removal of the planks from the upper rail. Alternatively, the plank-projections may be eliminated in favor of having the channel-projections simply grip the planks frictionally, or, vice versa, the channel-projections could be eliminated in favor of having the plank-projections press frictionally against the walls of the open channels in the upper rail or lower rail or both. Accordingly, the engagement between the upper rail and the planks takes some weight off the lower rail such that fewer support posts are needed, and that engagement can be provided with just the channel-projections, or just the plank-projections, or both.

A pneumatic mallet-blow operated fastener driving tool for securing hardwood planks to a subfloor, which comprises a fastener discharge mechanism in turn comprising a housing having a pressurized main chamber in direct link with a compressed air intake, a selectively depressurizable closure chamber pressurized when the tool is at rest, and a cylinder in which a piston having a plunger affixed thereto is slidably mounted. A valve, biased toward a closed position when the closure chamber is pressurized, or biased towards its open limit position if the closure chamber is depressurized, permits selective establishment of fluid communication between the inside of the cylinder and the pressurized main chamber. The piston, at a retracted limit position when the tool is at rest, is forced towards a deployed limit position when fluid communication is established between the main chamber and the inside of the cylinder, in order for its plunger to strike a fastener and drive it into an underlying plank. In use, after the mallet blow has engendered depressurizing of the closure chamber, the valve is moved in its open limit position, a fastener is discharged from the tool upon being struck by deployment of the piston by being struck by its plunger, and closure chamber starts to become pressurized again by compressed fluid flowing therein from the main chamber through a first fluid inlet, which initiates movement of the valve towards its closed position, and after such movement is initiated, a second fluid inlet port opens up to further admit compressed air into the closure chamber and thus accelerate pressurizing of the closure chamber and displacement of the valve towards its closed position.

Disclosed is a composition and method for providing antimicrobial protection to plastic structures, such as plastic decking, planking, fencing, and panels. The method comprises applying a water-soluble biocide to the metal-containing structure, and converting the soluble biocide to a water-insoluble metal biocide salt that is adsorbed on the surface of, or into the porous structure of the plastic material. The slow release of the insoluble antimicrobial agent from the surface or from within the pores of said plastic structure provides antimicrobial protection for the plastic structure.
