Modular fencing system

Abstract

A modular fencing system is disclosed, comprising panels of tubular frame and welded wire mesh, bases adapted to rotate about 90° between locking positions that are substantially in alignment with and at right angles to the panels, coupling means, and optionally including no-climb panels.

1 . A modular fencing system comprising the following components: 
 (1) panels of tubular frame and welded wire mesh wherein the mesh is welded to the inside of the tubular frame;    (2) bases secured to and in substantial alignment with said tubular frames of component (1), said bases being adapted to be rotatable about 90° relative to said panels and to be lockable either in substantial alignment with said panels or at about 90° relative to said panels; and    (3) coupling means for coupling the tubular frames of adjacent panels of component (1).    
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said tubular frame of component (1) is substantially round.  
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein component (1) is substantially rectangular.  
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein component (1) is substantially square.  
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein component (3) includes a cam capable of exerting a clamping force on adjacent tubular frames.  
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein component (3) comprises at least one set of cooperating loops and hooks on adjacent panels, respectively.  
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising no-climb panels of U-shaped tubular frames and welded wire mesh having exposed wires on the open side of said U-shaped tubular frames.  
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 7  further comprising vertical and angular coupling members for coupling said no-climb panels to component (1) in either a generally vertical or generally angular orientation.  
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 8  wherein the angle of said angular orientation is approximately 45°.  
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising reflective coating on one or more portions of component (1).
