The present invention relates to privacy or semi-privacy fencing systems useful for residential and commercial applications.
A variety of privacy and semi-privacy fencing systems have been proposed in the past and several different types are currently on the market. Privacy fencing is typically constructed from panels, boards or slats that provide varying amounts of privacy depending on their spacing.
Many devices and systems have been proposed in the art for meeting the fencing needs of the property owner/manager, such need including but not limited to aesthetic appeal, privacy, and security. One of the most common materials used in the creation of aesthetically attractive residential fencing is wood. While fencing made of newly formed wooden components can be especially attractive, it tends to be expensive to procure, install and maintain, and it tends to degrade over time. Attempts to overcome the problems associated with wood have included making fencing out of metal, such as steel or aluminum, which can be both expensive and heavy when compared to the fence of the present invention. And, like wood, steel needs to be maintained extensively when compared to the instant invention, in order to prevent it from degrading over time. Other attempts to overcome the problems associated with fencing of the prior art have included forming fencing of extruded plastic. Unfortunately, while such attempts may have produced an aesthetically pleasing fence, they have failed to produce a fence having the enduring structural qualities of the instant invention. A primary purpose of the instant invention, therefore, is to provide a fence that has all the advantages of prior art and none of the disadvantages.
The fiber reinforced fence of the present invention is for use in meeting the fencing needs of the property owner/manager, especially for those properties needing an aesthetically pleasing fencing system. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, the present invention provides a fence that is strong and durable relative to both its structural integrity and its surface color. The invention is economically manufactured, transported, installed, and maintained. The present invention is also very efficient with regard to the utilization of existing resources.
