Embodiment Construction

[0030] The picket fence 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a picket fence section 6 which is manufactured by blow molding and is a single piece. The picket fence section is supported at either ends by posts 4 and connectors 8. The connectors 8 engage the horizontal members 22 of the picket fence section and these connectors are mechanically fastened to the post 4.

[0031] The posts 4 are preferrably made of wood and include an outer cover 80 which encloses the wood post. This outer cover is also preferrably manufactured by blow molding and is a single integral piece including the top cap of the post.

[0032] The picket fence section 6 as shown in FIG. 2 includes horizontal members 22 and a series of pickets 20. The pickets in this case are all of the same height, however, it is possible to have pickets of different heights.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001] The present invention relates to plastic picket fence systems and in particular, relates to a one piece picket fence section.[0002] There are a number of fence products available where the customer purchases a finished fence section of an appropriate length. These fence sections can be made of plastic or wood and are often factory assembled. Many of the components of the plastic fence section are extruded plastic components and these components are then mechanically secured to extruded main support members.[0003] With these products, the end user merely purchases a finished section. Unfortunately, these products still have a very substantial cost with respect to the assembly of the fence section and it would be desirable to produce a lower cost competing product.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004] The present invention relates to a picket fence section which is manufactured by a blow molding technique to produce a single component of a substantial length...
