Abstract
A fence construction system and a method for building such a fence are provided. The fence looks like a wall and has wall characteristics, such as a post-tension condition, but is much less expensive and easier to build. A ratcheting system is used to tension the tensile wires which are then secured to the fence posts. A wire lath is applied to the tensile wires and coating material is then applied to the surface of the wire lath. After forming the fence construction, the tensile wires are released and the ratcheting posts are removed. The fence construction system can be used to build a fence portion of up to 300 feet long at one time.
Claims29
A method for constructing a fence with a wall appearance and characteristics, which comprises the steps of:
- erecting a plurality of fence posts including two end fence posts;
- erecting two temporary ratcheting posts beyond the two end fence posts with a plurality of ratchets fixed on the ratcheting posts;
- stringing a plurality of high-tension tensile wires between the temporary ratcheting posts;
- tensioning the high-tension tensile wires with the ratchets;
- securing the high-tension tensile wires to the fence posts;
- securing wire lath to the pre-stressed high-tension tensile wires;
- applying fence coating material to the wire lath;
- cutting the high-tension tensile wires beyond the end fence posts;
- and
- removing the temporary ratcheting posts.
A fence construction system, comprising:
- a plurality of fence posts;
- at least two temporary ratcheting posts, one of said ratcheting posts having a plurality of holes formed therein;
- a plurality of ratchets secured in at least some of said holes;
- a plurality of high-tension tensile wires running between said temporary ratcheting posts and secured to said plurality of fence posts;
- and
- a wire lath secured to said plurality of high-tension tensile wires.
A fence comprising:
- a plurality of fence posts;
- a plurality of high-tension tensile wires secured to said plurality of fence posts;
- a wire lath secured to said plurality of high-tension tensile wires;
- and
- a fence coating applied to said wire lath.
