Fence system

A fence system comprising line posts, top rails and bottom rails, said posts and rails having channels therein, said rails extending along side faces of the line posts, said top rail having first and second sidewalls and an interconnecting wall, edges of the first and second sidewalls being turned inwardly to form a pair of flanges having side faces parallel to the respective sidewalls and to define a channel opening between the flanges, fence material received in the channels of the rails and supported by the rails, a cap having a top wall extending beyond the interconnecting wall of the top rail, first and second depending flanges inserted in an upper end of the line post, and third depending flange extending downwardly at an outer edge of the cap to engage the second sidewall of the top rail remote from the line post, and a bracket for supporting the top rail including fastening means extending into the channel of the line post and securing the bracket to the side face of the line post, said bracket having a projection formed by a first wall extending outwardly for supporting the top rail, a second wall at right angle to said first wall extending into the channel opening of the top rail, and a third wall at right angle to the second wall extending over one of the flanges of the top rail a distance approximately equal to the thickness of the flanges to maintain the top rail against vertical and lateral displacements relative to the line post without obstructing the channel opening of the top rail to allow the fence material to be inserted into the channel opening.
