Modular concrete fence system

A fencing system comprising:

• a plurality of panel modules, each panel module having a first face, a second face, a top edge and a bottom edge, wherein each panel module comprises:
• a central panel having a first side end and a second side end, the central panel defining a central plane;
• a first semicolumnar projection extending from the first side end of the central panel parallel to the central plane and offset therefrom towards the first face, the first semicolumnar projection comprising a first slot extending between the top edge and the bottom edge, the first slot opening towards the second face and being in the form of a first elongated recess;
• and
• a second semicolumnar projection extending from the second side end of the central panel parallel to the central plane and offset therefrom towards the second face, the second semicolumnar projection comprising a second slot extending between the top edge and the bottom edge, the second slot opening towards the first face and being in the form of a second elongated recess,
• wherein overlapping coupling of the first semicolumnar projection of a first panel module with the second semicolumnar projection of an adjacent second panel module to align the first slot of the first panel module with the second slot of the second panel module provides an internal cavity, the first and second slots forming the internal cavity;
• a substantially rigid and ground-engaging support column, wherein the support column is receivable in the internal cavity by transverse movement of the first semicolumnar projection of the first panel and the second semicolumnar projection of the adjacent second panel towards each other to enclose the support column, the first and second elongated recesses each being at least as wide as the support column to thereby receive the support column by said transverse movement, the support column comprising a first ground-engaging end and a second open end;
• and
• one or more connection brackets for fastening to the first and second panel modules so as to extend into the internal cavity and into the open end of the support column, the one or more connection brackets each comprising an engagement element configured to engage the support column at the open end.
