Abstract
A kit for fencing a small area comprises a predetermined length of flexible fencing material having a total length which is less than the perimeter of the area by a small amount as measured by the permissive stretch of the fencing. A plurality of fence posts are secured to the fencing with distances therebetween of a predetermined amount and a plurality of ground engaging members are adapted to enter the ground to have the posts secured thereto, each of the ground engaging members being spaced from each other by a modular distance which is greater than the distance between the posts secured to the fencing. A closing post is provided with structure for driving the ground engaging members into the ground seriatim, and it is located after placing the ground engaging members.
Claims4
A kit for fencing a small area such as a play area or the like without the need of special tools, said kit comprising:
- a. a predetermined length of flexible fencing material having a total length less than the perimeter of said area by a small amount as measured by the permissive stretch of said fencing to enclose said area along said perimeter;
- b. a plurality of fence posts including means for securing each post to said flexible fencing with a distance between each post to a predetermined amount;
- c. a plurality of ground engaging members, each being separable from said fence posts, each being adapted to enter the ground and thereafter to have a fence post secured thereto;
- d. said ground engaging members being spaced from an adjacent one a selected modular distance which is slightly greater than corresponding distance between cooperating posts secured to said flexible fencing;
- e. a closing post having a dual function:
- i. one being that of driving said ground engaging members into the ground one by one prior to the securement thereto to a related fence post,
- ii. the other being that of driving the ground engaging member for said closing post prior to the securement to said last named ground engaging member of said closing post;
- f. said closing post having an internal diameter corresponding to the diameter of said ground engaging member, and having;
- g. a weight affixed therewithin spaced from an end thereof corresponding generally to the extent of said ground engaging member above the ground;
- h. said weight being of mass sufficient to enable said closing post to drive said ground engaging members readily into the ground.
