Abstract
A system for positioning post sleeves is provided including a pair of post sleeve positioning devices and a spacing mechanism. Each post sleeve positioning device is configured to receive a respective post sleeve and to enable selective adjustment of a position and orientation of the respective post sleeve. The spacing mechanism is coupleable between the pair of post sleeve positioning devices to determine or control the position and orientation of the post sleeve received by one of the pair of post sleeves positioning devices relative to the post sleeve received by the other one of the pair of post sleeve positioning devices. Related methods are also provided.
Claims27
A system for positioning post sleeves, the system comprising:
- a pair of post sleeve positioning devices, each post sleeve positioning device configured to receive a respective post sleeve and to enable selective adjustment of a position and orientation of the respective post sleeve;
- and
- a spacing mechanism coupleable between the pair of post sleeve positioning devices to determine or control, during use, the position and orientation of the post sleeve received by one of the pair of post sleeves positioning devices relative to the post sleeve received by the other one of the pair of post sleeve positioning devices.
A method to facilitate fabrication or repair of a fence, the method comprising:
- collecting information related to a position of each of a plurality of fence post sleeves located on a property, relative to a respective adjacent one of the plurality of fence post sleeves;
- and
- recording the information related to the position of each of the plurality of fence post sleeves for subsequent use in fabricating or repairing the fence.
A database to facilitate fabrication or repair of a fence, the database comprising:
- a plurality of files, each including information related to a plurality of fence post sleeves located on a specific property, each of the plurality of files including:
- information identifying the specific property, and
- information identifying a position of each of the plurality of fence post sleeves located on the property, relative to a respective adjacent one of the plurality of fence post sleeves.
A method to facilitate fabrication or repair of a fence, the method comprising:
- obtaining information defining a relative position of one of an adjacent pair of fence post sleeves relative to the other one of the adjacent pair of fence post sleeves;
- and
- obtaining information defining a relative orientation of one of the adjacent pair of fence post sleeves relative to the other one of the adjacent pair of fence post sleeves.
A method comprising:
- installing a first fence post sleeve;
- adjusting a position of a second fence post sleeve relative to the first fence post sleeve with a positioning device to correspond to a predetermined position;
- and
- fixing the position of the second post sleeve relative to the first fence post sleeve.
A method comprising:
- installing a first fence post sleeve;
- installing a second fence post sleeve;
- and
- obtaining information defining a relative position and orientation of the second fence post sleeve relative to the first fence post sleeve.
