Abstract
Disclosed herein is a fence post system. The system is comprised of a U-shaped-post system having L-shaped-bracket openings which are punched thereon, which also have an anti-warping-rib system, and an anti-torsion-rib system. Further, there are left-and-right-bracket systems molded to both sides of the fence post, which have upper-and-lower-flange systems molded to both ends. Additionally there are L-shaped bracket systems inserted into the L-shaped-bracket openings respectively, with a strut system which is seated on the U-shaped-post system. There may further be a board system screwed to the strut system.

A fence-post system comprising:
- a plurality of fence posts, each comprising:
- a central section,
- two opposite flank sections molded to ends of said central section to form a U shape, and
- a plurality of angled openings punch-pressed in said two opposite flank sections,
- a plurality of anti-bending-and-anti-warping ribs formed on said central sections of said fence posts,
- a plurality of anti-clockwise-torsion-and-anti-counterclockwise-torsion ribs formed on said central sections of said fence posts,
- two opposite vertical-bracket bodies molded to ends of said two opposite flank sections respectively, opposite the central section, with a plurality of vertical-bracket holes drilled in said vertical-bracket bodies respectively,
- two opposite upper flange bodies,
- said two opposite flank sections having two opposite upper ends,
- said two opposite upper flange bodies molded to said two opposite upper ends respectively, with a plurality of upper flange holes drilled in said two opposite upper flange bodies respectively,
- two opposite lower flange bodies,
- said two opposite flank sections having two opposite lower ends,
- said two opposite lower flange bodies molded to said two opposite lower ends respectively, with a plurality of lower flange holes drilled in said two opposite lower flange bodies respectively;
- an L-shaped bracket system comprising:
- a plurality of L-shaped-bracket bodies,
- a plurality of L-shaped-bracket hooks molded to said L-shaped-bracket bodies respectively, and

- wherein said L-shaped-bracket bodies are attached to said fence posts by rotatingly engaging said L-shaped-bracket hooks into said angled openings such that a portion of the L-shaped-bracket bodies extends outward from a respective one of said two opposite flank sections;
- and
- a fence system comprising:
- a plurality of upper struts,
- each seated on a respective fence-post top of at least one of said fence posts,
- a plurality of lower struts each engaged with at least one of said two opposite vertical-bracket bodies, and with at least one of said L-shaped-bracket bodies, and
- a plurality of fence boards screwed on said upper struts and said lower struts.
