Abstract
A system for positioning post sleeves is provided including a plurality of post sleeve positioning devices and a spacing mechanism. Each post sleeve positioning device is configured to receive a respective post sleeve and to enable selective adjustment of a position and orientation of the respective post sleeve. The spacing mechanism is coupleable between the pair of post sleeve positioning devices to determine or control the position and orientation of the post sleeve received by one of the pair of post sleeves positioning devices relative to the post sleeve received by the other one of the pair of post sleeve positioning devices. Related systems and methods are also provided.
Claims29
A method of designing one or more prefabricated fence panels, comprising:
- receiving data regarding locations at which fence posts, to which the one or more prefabricated fence panels will be coupled, are installed or are to be installed in a ground surface, wherein the data includes orientations at which the fence posts are installed or are to be installed and horizontal and vertical distances between adjacent locations at which the fence posts are installed or are to be installed;
- designing the one or more prefabricated fence panels to be coupled to the fence posts based at least in part on the data regarding the locations at which the fence posts are installed or are to be installed;
- and
- further comprising manufacturing at least a portion of the one or more fence panels having the desired characteristics.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a first set of data regarding fence post locations;
- receiving a second set of data regarding desired characteristics for one or more fence panels to be installed between posts at the fence post locations;
- presenting a representation of the one or more fence panels having the desired characteristics between the posts;
- receiving an indication of an order for the one or more fence panels having the desired characteristics;
- and
- further comprising manufacturing at least a portion of the one or more fence panels having the desired characteristics.
A method, comprising:
