Abstract
A fence with an integrated guard includes a fence having a bottom end and a guard attached to the lower end of the fence. The guard can wrap around the bottom end of the fence. Alternatively, the guard can extend downwardly from the fence. Still alternatively, the guard can extend between adjacent horizontal members of the fence.
Claims11
A fence with guard comprising:
- a single fence having a bottom end, the bottom end having a bottom horizontal member and a second horizontal member, each attached to a first side of a plurality of non-horizontal members;
- and
- a guard at the bottom end of the single fence and encompassing the plurality of non-horizontal members, wherein the guard comprises a first edge, a first planar sheet extending downward from the first edge, a first curved portion extending from the first planar sheet, distal from the first edge, the curved portion curving in a first direction at an obtuse angle around the first horizontal member and then curves in a second direction at an acute angle vertically upwardly along the plurality of vertical members to a second planar sheet, wherein the second planar sheet is parallel to the first planar sheet and extending upwardly to a second edge.
A fence with integrated guard comprising:
- a mesh fence having a bottom end, the mesh fence having a plurality of vertical members, a first horizontal member and a second horizontal member, each of the first horizontal member and the second horizontal member extending on a first side of each of the vertical members;
- and
- a solid guard extending along the bottom end of the fence and engaging each of the vertical members,
- wherein the solid guard extends upwardly from the bottom end and covers the first horizontal member and stops below the second horizontal member, wherein a first planar portion of the guard extends vertically downwardly along a second side of the plurality of vertical members, then extends horizontally along a bottom of each of the plurality of vertical members past the first horizontal member, then curves in a first direction at an obtuse angle around the first horizontal member to the first side of the plurality of vertical members, and then curves in a second direction at an acute angle vertically upwardly to a second planar portion, the second planar portion extending along the plurality of vertical members.
