US 2026/0092469 A1 · STACKABLE SPACERS FOR INFILL

Abstract

A fence system that provides a platform that allows for construction of various configurations. The system includes a section of fence having first and second uprights and an upper and a lower rail that span between the uprights. First and second end brackets are affixed to the uprights for receiving a plurality of horizontal panels. Spacers may be located within the end brackets to selectively space the horizontal members as desired or may be located within upper and lower rails to selectively space the vertical members as desired. Spacer combinations can vary an amount of spacing between horizontal or vertical panels. Advantages include versatility, i.e., an ability to easily install spacers, either alone, or in stackable combination with other spacers to easily construct a fence having horizontal or vertical segments that are separated by a desired amount.
