1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to an improved type of fence post and method therefore and, more specifically, to an improved fence post and method therefore which includes at least two saddle support members for supporting and connecting parallel tubular members.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the past, fences have been constructed out of iron, wood or chain link, among several other types of materials. For example, chain link fences have been constructed using periodic vertical fence posts that served as connecting members and supports in between sections of chain link fence material. Prior art fence systems were generally fairly complicated, expensive and required long periods of time to construct.
A need existed to provide an improved fence system and method which would permit the use of inexpensive preferably metal tubular members to be used in both horizontal and vertical configurations. Thus, fence posts were needed to both support and connect these horizontal tubular members in a manner that provided a more reliable structural support while still permitting greater ease in installation.
It is an object of the instant invention to provide an improved fence system and method therefore.
It is another object of this invention to provide an improved fence post and method therefore.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an improved fence post and method therefore which includes improved "saddle support" members for permitting increased structural support for as well as ease in connection to parallel horizontal fence members.
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following, more particular, description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
