Method of constructing a metal paneled fence

Abstract

A lightweight aluminum paneled fence and the method of its construction comprising a plurality of thin aluminum panels fastened to fixed terminal posts with adjacent panels being disposed on opposite sides of said posts, said panels being properly tensioned by a plurality of floating tensioning bars, said tensioning bars having a rectangular or elongated cross-section which is interwoven between adjacent panels after they are rigidly fixed to the terminal and line posts and rotated from the narrower width to the longer width, thus providing tensioning to firmly and rigidly hold the panels in position. The fence may be constructed on site using continuous flexible aluminum panels, each panel being cut to the particular length of the fence desired, there being no need to construct the fence in relatively short segmentized panels. The tensioning bar also provides for adjacent panel separation to allow air flow through the fence.
