Abstract
An anchoring system for a fence attaches to a portion of the fence and secures the fence to a subsurface to anchor the fence and thereby inhibit unwanted movement of the fence due to winds or other outside forces. The anchoring system has a stand that forms a base and a rigid pole extending upwardly from the stand. A top connector removably attaches the rigid pole to a portion of the fence and at least one in-ground anchor secures the stand to a subsurface.
Claims17
An anchoring system for a fence, comprising:
- a hollow end post of a fence panel;
- a stand configured to form a base;
- a rigid pole extending upwardly from the stand through the hollow end post, the rigid pole comprising a threaded upper end,
- a top connector configured to engage with the threaded upper end of the rigid pole, wherein the top connector fits into an upper end of the hollow end post to thereby removably attach the rigid pole to the hollow end post;
- and
- at least one in-ground anchor configured to secure the stand to a subsurface.
The anchoring system of 2, wherein the rigid pole is formed from a metal material and the threaded cap is formed from a non-conductive material.
A fence, comprising:
- a fence panel comprising a plurality of vertical posts, including at least one hollow end post;
- and
- an anchoring system comprising:
- a stand configured to form a base;
- a rigid pole extending upwardly from the stand through the hollow end post, the rigid pole comprising a threaded upper end;
- a top connector configured to engage with the threaded upper end of the rigid pole, wherein the top connector fits into an upper end of the hollow end post to thereby removably attach the rigid pole to the hollow end post;
- and
- at least one in-ground anchor configured to secure the stand to a subsurface.
A fence, comprising:
- a plurality of fence panels, each fence panel comprising a first hollow end post and a second hollow end post,
- a plurality of anchoring systems, each anchoring system comprising:
- a stand configured to form a base;
- a rigid pole extending upwardly from the stand through the respective hollow end post, the rigid pole comprising a threaded upper end;
- a threaded cap configured to engage with the threaded upper end of the rigid pole, wherein the threaded cap fits into an upper end of the respective hollow end post to thereby removably attach the rigid pole to the respective hollow end post of a fence panel of the plurality of fence panels;
- and
- at least one in-ground anchor configured to secure the stand to a subsurface wherein each anchoring system is configured to secure a respective one of the plurality of fence panels to a subsurface and connect to an adjacent one of the plurality of fence panels to form an interconnected fence along a fence line.
