Abstract
Various fencing methods are now common where the structure of the fence does not readily lend itself to the attachment of a mesh fabric, such as, wire weave or chain-link. Methods and systems are provided to evasively and non-evasively attach mesh fabric to a new or existing fence structure (e.g., PVC) as, for example, a connector for an existing fence or as a fence-connector combination for new fence installations. As a benefit, such methods and system allow fencing structures used to contain large animals (e.g., rail fencing), such as horses, to have a wire or other fabric attached to contain, for example, smaller animals and children.

A method of multiple purpose fence construction, comprising the steps of:
- non-invasive placement of a connector on a fence post with a first fencing material;
- and
- attaching a second fencing material to the connector.
A fence system comprising:
- a fence post operable to support a first fencing material;
- and
- a connector operable to narrowly fit onto the fence post and operable to accept the attachment of a second fencing material.
A fence post comprising:
- a fence post operable to support a first fencing material;
- and
- an integrated connector operable to support a second fencing material.
A fence post comprising:
- a fence post operable to support a first fencing material;
- a receptacle to accept a spline, and
- the spline being operable to support the attachment of a second fencing material.
