Protective fencing

In grille-type protective fencing, the improvements comprising in combination

• a plurality of vertically spaced apart, horizontally extending, substantially parallel planar bar members,
• each of said horizontal planar bar members having a plurality of substantially planar lanced webs extending laterally from one side only of the body and plane of said member in horizontally spaced apart relationship and in vertical alignment with the lanced webs of the remaining horizontal planar bar members,
• each said lanced web being integrally formed and continuous from its conjunction at each end thereof with the body of said horizontal planar bar member,
• a plurality of intermediate vertical planar bar members engaged with said horizontal planar bar members within said planar lanced webs,
• the bodies of said horizontal planar bar members lying substantially in a first plane, said intermediate vertical planar bar members lying substantially in a second plane substantially parallel to and ajdacent said first plane, and said horizontally extending planar lanced webs lying substantially in a third plane substantially parallel to and adjacent said second plane,
• each said lanced web forming a vertical space for reception of each said vertical bar member therewithin,
• said space being sufficient to receive and pass said vertical bar member with very slight "play" between each said vertical bar member and each said horizontal bar member,
• each of said intermediate vertical planar bar members having their end portions engaging and embracing the top and bottom horizontal planar bar members, and lateral vertical framing members fixedly secured to the ends of said horizontal planar bar members at each lateral side of said fencing to form a substantially rectilinear fencing unit.
