Abstract: An improved, low cost fence panel construction having a variety of uses such as in the erection of dog kennels or the like is provided which can be easily and quickly assembled by unskilled workmen or the home handyman, and which yields a sturdy, structurally sound fence panel. Broadly speaking, the panel construction hereof includes elongated top and bottom rails, along with a pair of upright side rails; the end margins of the rails are configured for telescopic interfitting thereof so as to present an interconnected, continuous panel perimeter. A section of fencing fabric of appropriate dimensions is secured to the perimeter-defining rails, in order to complete the overall panel and to subject the telescopically interfitted rail members to forces tending to pull the same together. In this fashion the completed panel is structurally self-sustaining and rigidified.
