  • Patent number: 5556080
    Abstract: A fence system including a frame and a plurality of foraminous panels attached to the frame. The foraminous panels are constructed with continuous integral strands forming a zig-zag pattern defining cell apertures therebetween which are connected by integral bonds extending between each of the strands. The cell apertures define a non-circular interior shape. A fastener of the fence system has a shank, a head attached to one end of the shank, and may include a shoulder positioned between the shank which is shaped to cooperatively engage a cell aperture. The foraminous panels are attached to the frame with a portion of each neighboring panel having an overlapping area through which fasteners are inserted and attached. A reinforcing assembly including at least one reinforcing member attached over each overlapping area and may be attached over other joints or edges to provide added security. An angled top edge cap is attached along a top end of the foraminous panels and is angled to deter climbing.

  • Patent number: 5421557
    Abstract: A fence system including a frame and a plurality of foraminous panels attached to the frame. The foraminous panels are constructed with continuous integral strands which are connected by integral bonds extending between each of the strands. The integral strands form a zig-zag pattern defining cell apertures therebetween. The cell apertures define a non-circular interior shape. A fastener of the fence system has a shank and a head attached to one end of the shank. A shoulder positioned between the shank and the head is shaped to cooperatively engage a cell aperture for preventing rotation of the fastener when engaged with a foraminous panel. The foraminous panels are attached to the frame with a portion of each neighboring panel having an overlapping area through which fasteners are inserted and attached. An angled top edge cap is attached along a top end of the foraminous panels and is angled to deter climbing.
