An articulating fence post and gating system, which resiliently articulates from an upright position, perpendicular to the ground, to a flattened position, parallel with the ground, is described. The gating system comprises at least one resiliently articulating fence post, where the posts are connected by strands of fencing material. The gating system may be disposed with a standard stationary fence or an articulating fencing system. The gating system of the present invention avoids damage from a collision between farm equipment, such as a mobile irrigation system, and the fence by having the gating portion resiliently articulate, from an upright position to the ground, in order to allow the mobile equipment to run over the gate portion without breaking fence posts or snapping strands of fencing material. Once the equipment completely rolls over the gated portion of the fence, the gated portion automatically returns to its upright position.
A resiliently articulating fence post comprising:
A fencing system, including stationary fence posts having fencing material spanning said posts, the improvement, within said fencing system, comprising:
A resiliently rotationally articulating fencing system including articulating fence posts having fencing material spanning said posts which is articulated by exertion of a first preset force and having a resiliently articulating gated portion which is articulated by exertion of a second preset force, the system comprised of at least one articulating post, such that one segment of said articulating fence is capable of collapsing to a position parallel with the ground upon exertion of said second preset force which is different from said first preset force, wherein said gated portion comprises:
