Abstract
There is provided a fencing panel having upper and lower transverse members each defining a channel opening toward the other. The fence includes a plurality of elongated upright members, the ends of each upright member being lodged in the channels, each upright member being of resiliently deformable material. The upright members have an unstressed cross-section which could not be received in the channels, but is such as to be capable of resilient deformation so that it can be received in the channels, whereby the resiliency of the upright member urges parts of the cross-section against the channels thus binding the upright members within the channels.
Claims8
A fencing panel comprising:
- an upper transverse member shaped to define a downwardly open channel,
- a lower transverse member shaped to define an upwardly open channel, both channels having substantially the same width,
- and a plurality of elongated upright members spanning between the transverse members, each upright member having its ends lodged in said open channels, each upright member being of resiliently deformable material and having an unstressed, generally V-shaped cross-section which defines an obtuse angle and which cannot be received in said channels when unstressed, the cross-section being shaped to be capable of resilient deformation to enlarge the obtuse angle, so that the cross-section is receivable within said channels, whereby the resiliency of the upright member urges parts of said cross-section against the channels, thereby binding said upright members within the channels.
