Fence system and method of use

Abstract

A fence includes a wall panel portion having an upper edge and a lower edge, and a plurality of tubular pockets running across the wall panel between the upper edge and the lower edge. The tubular pockets each configured to receive a mounting post. The upper edge and the lower edge can each include a channel in which a draw cord is threaded. The fence can further include an apron portion extending from the lower edge of the wall panel portion. Methods of installing the fence are also provided.

1 . A fence comprising:
 a wall panel portion having an upper edge and a lower edge, wherein the wall panel comprises a channel proximate to the upper edge in which a first draw cord is threaded;   an apron portion extending from the lower edge of the wall panel portion, the apron portion having a distal edge spaced from the lower edge; and   a plurality of tubular pockets running across the wall panel between the upper edge and the lower edge, the tubular pockets each configured to receive a mounting post therein.   
     
     
         2 . The fence of  claim 1 , wherein the wall panel portion and the apron portion are formed of a one-piece flexible fabric material. 
     
     
         3 . The fence of  claim 2 , wherein the flexible fabric material is a knitted polyethylene material. 
     
     
         4 . The fence of  claim 1 , wherein the wall panel portion is formed of a knitted polyethylene material. 
     
     
         5 . The fence of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one grommet near the upper edge and proximate to one of the plurality of tubular pockets. 
     
     
         6 . The fence of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the tubular pockets is attached to the wall panel portion. 
     
     
         7 . The fence of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the tubular pockets is formed by a fold of the wall panel portion. 
     
     
         8 . The fence of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of mounting posts each inserted in one of the tubular pockets. 
     
     
         9 . The fence of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the mounting posts is coupled to the wall panel portion by a fastening tie. 
     
     
         10 . The fence of  claim 9 , wherein the wall panel portion comprises a grommet, and the fastening tie includes an elongated element passing through the grommet. 
     
     
         11 . The fence of  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the mounting posts comprises a through hole, and the fastening tie includes an elongated element passing through the through hole. 
     
     
         12 . The fence of  claim 1 , where the apron portion comprises a channel proximate the distal edge in which a second draw cord is threaded.
