  • Patent number: 7628385
    Abstract: A fence edge guard including an elongated channel-shaped body member having a bottom, and upstanding opposed sidewalls extending upwardly from opposed side edges of the bottom and terminating at an open top, and an interior elongated channel defined by the bottom and said sidewalls. A plurality of openings are longitudinally spaced along bottom. A plurality of spring means are spaced longitudinally along the body for securing the body along the bottom edge of a chain link fence such that the bottom of the fence edge guard is urged upwardly towards the bottom edge of the chain link fence. The fence edge guard is useful in preventing vegetation from growing through the opens of the chain link fence, preventing damage and excess wear on line trimmer cutting lines, and for providing a gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground to permit trimming of vegetation below the fence.
