Abstract

A portable fence comprising a hollow tubular post element, guide discs adjacent opposite ends of the post element, a length of flexible fencing of the open or closed face type wound around the post element between the guides, and a supporting element removably carried in one end of the tubular post and adapted to be driven into the ground or similar surface. The post element is rotatably supported on the supporting element in an upright position, and the fencing is unwound therefrom to a position of use. At least one of the guide discs is removable from the post so that both guides can be located adjacent the lower end of the upright post thereby resembling a standard permanent fence in appearance. For use on hard or otherwise impenetrable surfaces, one or both of the guide discs can be weighted to support the post element in an upright position.
