Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provides a system and method of a fence assembly. The system includes a vertical member, one or more channel rails, and an array of mating apertures running along the one or more channel rails for coupling a plurality of rails. In another embodiment, a fence system includes a first vertical member, a second vertical member, one or more channel rails, and a plurality of rails positioned between the first vertical member and the second vertical member according to the at least one channel among the one or more channels rails, the plurality of rails coupled the corresponding channel rails via a plurality of mating apertures.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fence post assembly comprising:
 a vertical member, wherein the vertical member has a first end and a second end, the vertical member having a plurality of faces;   one or more channel rails coupled correspondingly to one or more faces of the plurality of faces, the channel rail extending between the first end and the second end, the channel rail including a plurality of mating apertures; and   an array of mating apertures running along the one or more channel rails for coupling a plurality of rails.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more channel rails form a U-shaped mating channel. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a removable endcap that covers a second end of the vertical member.   
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 3 , the removable endcap further comprising an aperture. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 one or more channel caps, wherein the one or more channel caps covers a second end of the one or more channel rails.   
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 1 , the vertical member further comprising an aperture located on the one or more of the planar faces of the vertical member adjacent to the second end. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 1 , the vertical member further comprising a gate latch punchout located on one planar face of the vertical member. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 1 , the vertical member further comprising a gate coupled to the vertical member, the gate engaging a set of hinge brackets coupled to the vertical member. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a collar anchor, wherein the vertical member passes through a collar of the collar anchor, and wherein the collar anchor is positioned within a first length of the vertical member, the first length being a portion of the vertical member between the channel rail and the first end.   
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a set of foundation apertures passing through the vertical member located within a first length of the vertical member, the first length being a portion of the vertical member between the channel rail and the first end; and   a plurality of foundation support bars, wherein the plurality of foundation support bars pass though the corresponding set of foundation apertures.   
     
     
         11 . A fence post assembly comprising:
 a first vertical member, wherein the vertical member has a first end and a second end, the vertical member having a plurality of faces;   a second vertical member, wherein the second vertical member has a first end and a second end, the vertical member having a plurality of faces;   one or more channel rails coupled correspondingly to one or more faces of the plurality of faces of the first vertical member;   one or more channel rails coupled correspondingly to one or more faces of the plurality of faces of the second member;   wherein at least one channel among the one or more channel rails of the first vertical member and the second vertical member face one another;   each channel rail of the one or more channel rails of the first vertical member and the one or more channel rails of the second vertical member extending between the first end and the second end, each channel rail including a plurality of mating apertures; and   a plurality of rails positioned between the first vertical member and the second vertical member according to the at least one channel among the one or more channels rails of the first vertical member and the second vertical member facing one another, the plurality of rails coupled the corresponding channel rails via the plurality of mating apertures.   
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a set of foundation apertures passing through the first vertical member and the second vertical member located within a first length of each vertical member, the first length being a portion of each vertical member between the channel rail and the first end; and   a plurality of foundation support bars, wherein the plurality of foundation support bars pass though the corresponding set of foundation apertures.   
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a set of straps, wherein the set of straps are positioned to pass across the plurality of rails.   
     
     
         14 . The assembly of  claim 11 , the first vertical member further comprising a gate coupled to the first vertical member, the gate engaging a set of hinge brackets coupled to the first vertical member. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a first endcap that covers a second end of the first vertical member; and   a second endcap that covers a second end of the second vertical member.   
     
     
         16 . The assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 one or more channel caps, wherein the one or more channel caps covers a second end of the one or more channel rails corresponding to the first vertical member and the second vertical member.   
     
     
         17 . The assembly of  claim 11 , the second vertical member further comprising a gate latch punchout on one planar face of the vertical member. 
     
     
         18 . A method of constructing a fence system, comprising:
 locating a plurality of fence posts in a vertical orientation on a foundation, wherein a channel rail of a first fence post faces towards a channel rail of a second fence post;   anchoring the plurality of fence posts in position;   locating a plurality of rails between the first fence post and the second post based on the channel rail of the first fence post and the channel rail of the second fence post, wherein the plurality of rails form a planar barrier based on the channel rail of the first fence post and the channel rail of the second fence post; and   fastening the plurality of rails to the channel rail of the first fence post and the channel rail of the second fence post based on an array of mating apertures corresponding to the channel rail of the first fence post and the channel rail of the second fence post.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 locating a set of spacers within the channel rail of the first fence post and a set of spacers within the channel rail of the second fence post, wherein each spacer is located between a set of boards of the plurality of boards.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 locating a first set of channel caps, wherein the first set of channel caps covers a first end corresponding to the channel rail of the first fence post and the channel rail of the second fence post.
