Appl. No.:

12/807725

Inventors:

Michael Rowley - Munster IN, US
David Kurth - Dyer IN, US

International Classification:

E04H 17/20
B23P 19/02

US Classification:

256 6503, 29525

Abstract:

A fence system including a first post attached in the ground and a second post attached in the ground. The fence system also includes a rail coupled to the first post and the second post with a female member attachment mechanism and a lip. The fence system also includes a slat including a male member attachment mechanism with a flap and a locking mechanism defining a step. The slat is coupled to the rail such that the male member attachment mechanism is coupled to the female member attachment mechanism and the step abuts the lip. If a force is applied to remove the male member attachment mechanism from the female member attachment mechanism, the lip exerts a force on the step resisting the force applied to remove the male member attachment mechanism.
