Abstract:

Disclosed is a covering designed to be attached to and along the bottom portion of chain-linked and other similar types of fencing in order to prevent grass and weeds from growing between the links. Produced in varying lengths from a rubber or plastic type material, the covering has an L-shaped profile that allows it to be placed along the bottom edge of the fencing resting on the ground and against the fence. The mowing strip portion of the L-shape guard that rests upon the ground extends out horizontally from the bottom of the fence serves a shield that will prevent plant growth along the fence line.
