Description
- This invention relates to a fencing system.
- South African patent number 99/0156 discloses a method of joining an upright to a bearer. Both the upright and the bearer are of channel sections and comprise a web with a flange along each edge of the web, the flanges diverging from one another in the direction away from the web. This method includes the steps of forming two spaced slots in the bearer, the slots being at an angle with respect to one another, forcing said flanges of said upright towards one another to decrease the size of the gap between them, inserting the flanges into said slots and releasing the flanges so that they spring apart.
- A disadvantage of the above fence is that, owing to the configuration of the connection, the upright is relatively easily removed from the bearer.
- South African patent number 2000/0700 discloses a method of constructing a fence. This method includes the steps of erecting a plurality of spaced-apart posts by anchoring the bases of the posts in concrete footings in the ground; connecting bearers to the posts by aligning openings in the bearers with corresponding openings in the posts; and feeding locking clips through the aligned openings to lock the bearers to the posts. A series of upright or substantially upright bars are then connected to the bearers by aligning openings in the bars with corresponding openings in the bearers and feeding locking clips through the aligned openings to lock the bars to the bearers.
