- The present invention relates to a fencing system and method. In particular, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a fencing system and method for pool fences, although the present invention is not limited to this application and other applications, such as balconies, verandas, staircases and the like are envisaged.
- Conventional fences, fencing systems and balustrade systems are used in a wide range of applications and exhibit a range of construction techniques and fastening mechanisms. Such systems typically comprise a plurality of spaced apart posts and, in one form, a plurality of panels, each panel attached between a pair of adjacent posts. In one alternative, instead of panels, an upper and lower rail extends between adjacent posts with a plurality of spaced apart balusters extending vertically between the upper and lower rails.
- One known system comprises a plurality of posts, which are either circular or substantially square in cross section, and a plurality of panels, such as glass panels. Each panel comprises upper and lower rails, which are used to attach the panels to the posts. Such a fencing system is commonly employed on balconies, verandas, staircases and around swimming pools. One disadvantage with this and other systems is the high degree of accuracy that is required. For example, the posts need to be positioned accurately to ensure that they are exactly vertical. The panels also need to be put together accurately to ensure they are square and of exactly the correct size to fit in the inter-post space. A small degree of error with the positioning of the posts and/or the production of the panels can result in difficulty in affixing the panels and/or gaps occurring between the panels and the posts. The unsightly gaps then need to be hidden using trims or the like. The requirement for a high degree of accuracy contributes to the installation time, the cost and can impair the aesthetic appearance of the finished fence.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a method of constructing a fence in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , there is provided afencing system 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Thefencing system 10 comprises a plurality ofposts 12 and at least onescreen 14 extending between adjacent posts. It will be appreciated that afence 11 constructed from the fencing system of the present invention can comprise a plurality ofposts 12 and a plurality ofscreens 14. Each post comprises a pair ofsockets 16. In this embodiment, thescreen 12 comprises intruderresistant mesh 18 clamped to aframe 20 comprisingelongate frame members 22. One of theelongate frame members 22 is received by one of the pair ofsockets 16 of one of theposts 12 and an opposingelongate frame member 22 is received by one of the pair ofsockets 16 of anadjacent post 12. - The Applicant's Australian Patent No. 694515, which is incorporated herein by reference, describes an intruder resistant screen incorporating a woven wire intruder resistant mesh clamped between a plurality of clamping portions and clamping members with a leveraged clamping action and a similar clamping mechanism is employed in the present invention.
- The intruder
resistant mesh 18 covering the opening enclosed by theframe 20 is a woven grid of stainless steel wire. Suitable mesh dimensions have been described in Australian Patent No. 694515 and the most suitable dimensions have been found to be wire diameters from 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm and wire spacing (in weft or warp) from 1 mm to 2.2 mm. - With reference to
FIG. 2 , according to one embodiment,elongate frame member 22 is formed from extruded aluminium and has achannel section 23 for receiving a corner stake (not shown) at each of its ends.Channel section 23 can be considered to comprise abase 25, a pair of ribbedwalls 38 extending from thebase 25 and anupper surface 27 extending between the pair of ribbedwalls 38. Accordingly,frame 20 is formed to the desired shape and dimensions by cutting suitable lengths of eachframe member 22 and assembling the lengths with mitred corners. Althoughframe members 22 are preferably extruded aluminium lengths, they may be extruded, roll formed or press formed lengths of any suitable material. - With reference to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , theelongate frame member 22 comprises anintegral clamping portion 24 extending frombase 25 ofchannel section 23, which co-acts with anon-integral clamping member 26 to clamp the intruderresistant mesh 18 to theframe 20. Theintegral clamping portion 24 and thenon-integral clamping member 26 are of an identical length and extend along the length of theelongate frame member 22. - Spaced holes are drilled along the
integral clamping portions 24 and thenon-integral clamping members 26 to receive fastening means (not shown) in the form of pop-rivets or screws, which co-act with theintegral clamping portions 24 and thenon-integral clamping members 26 to clamp themesh 18 to theframe 20. Hence, when clamped, an area adjacent each respective edge ofmesh 18 is clamped to theframe 20 such that each clamped area is in the same plane as the rest ofmesh 18, which is enclosed byframe 20. As a result, each edge ofmesh 18 is clamped to no more than one clamping surface of each one ofintegral clamping portions 24 andnon-integral clamping members 26. - The
elongate frame member 22 comprises anintegral tongue 28 terminating in ahook 30 to seat aslot 32 in thenon-integral clamping member 26 and positively locate thenon-integral clamping member 26 with respect to theframe 20. - According to specific embodiments, the
integral clamping portion 24 and/or thenon-integral clamping member 26 have aserrated surface mesh 18. The serrations on theintegral clamping portion 24 and/or thenon-integral clamping member 26 act together to firmly hold themesh 18 in theelongate frame member 22. The fastening means (not shown) hold thenon-integral clamping member 26 in position against theintegral clamping portion 24 with the result that the mesh can withstand significant impact and not be pulled from the frame. - According to one embodiment, the pair of ribbed
walls 38 of opposingelongate frame members 22 abut inside surfaces 40 of thesockets 16 of theposts 12.Outer surfaces 42 of theposts 12 comprise v-shapedgrooves 43 along the length of theposts 12 to aid location of fastening means 44 in the form of screws, pop-rivets or the like. The relative size of thewalls 38 and thesockets 16 are such that a range of positions for theelongate frame members 22 within thesockets 16 are available to fasten theelongate frame members 22 to theposts 12. -
FIGS. 1 and 3 illustrate that the pair ofsockets 16 of at least one of theposts 12 in the fencing system oppose each other such that thepost 12 is substantially I-shaped or H-shaped in cross-section.Sockets 16 can be considered to be formed from thecentral member 58 of thepost 12 and aperpendicular member 59 extending from each end of thecentral member 58. As shown inFIG. 3 , in acorner post 12 of the fencing system, the pair ofsockets 16 are substantially at 90 degrees to each other. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , each post 12 further comprises at least onecover 46 to obscure from view fastening means 44 of the fencing system.Covers 46 can be detachably attached to theposts 12 by a snap fixing as is known in the art and can have a curved surface as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 or can have any alternative surface shape and/or finish as desired. - With reference to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , according to one embodiment, thefencing system 10 further comprises abase member 48 having a pair of spaced apartwalls base plate 54 for fastening eachpost 12 to asurface 56, such as a pool surround, balcony, deck, veranda, staircase or the like. In the embodiment shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 ,wall 50 extends further from thebase plate 54 thanwall 52, such that acentral section 58 of eachpost 12 is fastened to bothwalls base plate 54 and only to wall 50 further from thebase plate 54. Fastening means 60 for fastening thebase plate 54 to thesurface 56 and thepost 12 to thebase member 48 are in the form of nuts and bolts, although other fastening means such as welding may be employed. Alternatively, posts 12 can be set into thesurface 56 and secured in place with, for example, concrete. -
FIG. 1 illustrates that an upper elongate frame member of the screen forms a handrail of the fencing system, which avoids the necessity of providing and affixing an additional element for this purpose, thus saving time, money and materials. Caps, such as plastic caps (not shown) can be snap fitted to the top of theposts 12 for aesthetic purposes. - Although the
screens 24 are shown inFIG. 1 as being substantially rectangular in shape, it will be appreciated that the panels can be formed in other shapes, such as a diamond shape, i.e. an out-of-square rectangle, for staircases or the like. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , according to one embodiment, thescreen 14 of the fencing system of the present invention is in the form of agate 62, which is constructed in the same manner as thescreen 14 as described above. In this embodiment, post 12 comprises asnap cover 64 having a partiallycurved surface 66 and a partiallyflat surface 68.Flat surface 68 allows afirst part 70 of a self-sprunghinge 72 to be attached thereto and to post 12 with a fastening means 74, such as a screw or rivet. Asecond part 76 of the self-sprunghinge 72 is attached to wall 38 ofelongate frame member 22 with a fastening means 75, such as a screw or rivet. An opposingelongate frame member 22 of thegate 62 abuts a closer 78 attached to anadjacent post 12. Closer 78 comprises awool pile channel 80 onarm 81 and is secured withinsocket 16 ofpost 12 viaarms 83 with fastening means 82, such as screws or rivets or any other suitable fastening means. Fastening means 82 can be concealed withcovers 46 as described above. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , whereposts 12 form an end post, acover plate 84 is secured withinsocket 16 ofpost 12 viaarms 86 with fastening means 82, such as screws or rivets or any other suitable fastening means. Fastening means 82 can be concealed withcovers 46 as described above. - A
method 100 of constructing afence 11 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the flowchart inFIG. 8 . Themethod 100 includes instep 110 the step of installing a plurality ofposts 12, each post comprising a pair ofsockets 16. Instep 120, anelongate frame member 22 of thescreen 14 is inserted into one of the pair ofsockets 16 of one of theposts 12. Next, the method includes inserting an opposingelongate frame member 22 of thescreen 14 into one of the pair ofsockets 16 of anadjacent post 12, as represented bystep 130. Instep 140, the method includes clamping intruderresistant mesh 18 to theelongate frame members 22. - According to one embodiment, the steps of inserting the
elongate frame members 22 of thescreen 14 into thesockets 16 of theposts 12 are followed by the step of clamping the intruderresistant mesh 18 to theelongate frame members 22. It will be appreciated that, in this embodiment, theelongate frame members 22 can be inserted into thesockets 16 of theposts 12 from the side or from the top. - In an alternative embodiment, the step of clamping the intruder
resistant mesh 18 to theelongate frame members 22 is followed by the steps of inserting theelongate frame members 22 of thescreen 14 into thesockets 16 of theposts 12. It will be appreciated that, in this embodiment, theelongate frame members 22 will be inserted into thesockets 16 of theposts 12 from the top. - It is envisaged that the method of constructing a fence in accordance with the present invention includes the step of installing one of the
posts 12 followed by the step of clamping the intruderresistant mesh 18 to theelongate frame members 22 followed by the step of inserting one of theelongate frame members 22 of thescreen 14 into one of thesockets 16 of the insertedpost 12 followed by installing afurther post 12. In this embodiment, the step of installing thefurther post 12 includes inserting an opposingelongate frame member 22 of thescreen 14 into one of thesockets 16 of thefurther post 12. - Although unlikely to be implemented very often in practice, the inventors envisage a further embodiment in which the
fence 11 depends from an upper surface. In this embodiment, theelongate frame members 22 can be inserted into thesockets 16 of theposts 12 from the side or from the bottom. - Hence, there is flexibility for the user in using the fencing system of the present invention.
- Hence, the system and method of the present invention thus provides a solution to the aforementioned accuracy problem of the prior art by virtue of the relative size of the
walls 38 of theelongate frame members 22 and thesockets 16 of the posts, which are such that a range of positions for theelongate frame members 22 within thesockets 16 are available to fasten theelongate frame members 22 to theposts 12. Therefore, it does not matter if theposts 12 are not positioned exactly vertical and/or if thescreens 14 are not of exactly the correct length. The present invention still allows thescreens 14 to be attached to theposts 12 without leaving any gaps. The means of clamping the intruderresistant mesh 18 to theframe 20 by theintegral clamping portion 24 and thenon-integral clamping member 26 also provides tolerance in the manufacturing and installation process. Hence, the requirement for a high degree of accuracy and the associated installation time and cost are avoided and a fence with an aesthetically pleasing appearance can be achieved. - Throughout the specification the aim has been to describe the invention without limiting the invention to any one embodiment or specific collection of features. Persons skilled in the relevant art may realize variations from the specific embodiments that will nonetheless fall within the scope of the invention.
