Abstract: A compact fenced enclosure (5) having a plurality of generally upright support posts (7), and a plurality of top rails (11) and bottom rails (15) extending in a generally horizontal direction between each support post. Each top rail (11) and bottom rail (15) has a first end and a second end. The first end of each rail is placed in an overlapping relationship with the second end of each adjacent rail on the first and second ends of each support post (7), and secured to support post (7) by a single fastener passing through an opening (33) defined in each arcuate section (32), and through matching opening (34) defined in the first and second ends of each support post (7) forming an enclosure about the space. Enclosure (5) also includes a gate assembly (24) supported on frame (6) for permitting passage into and out of the space, and chain link fencing (26) attached to frame (6) and gate assembly (24) for enclosing the space defined by said enclosure.
