Fence or the like

Abstract

A structure of a fence or the like includes plural rails and posts. The intersections of the rails and the posts are fixed by connecting elements. The rail has an inner rail and an outer rail having an opening to cover on the inner rail. Two sides of the outer rail have respectively a ridge projected outwards to keep its inner wall formed as a groove for hiding the connecting elements and enhancing the strength of the rail. Two sides of the inner rail corresponding to the connecting elements are formed as a recess for positioning the connecting elements in them, so that the outer rail is not to be scraped by the connecting elements to damage its coating while mounting the outer rail on the inner rail.

1 . A fence composed of plural rails and posts intersected mutually to have the intersections horizontally connected fixedly by connecting elements, said fence characterized by:
 said rails comprising an inner rail having an opening facing upwards and an outer rail covered on said inner rail and having an opening facing downwards and opened wider than a width of the inner rail, two sides of said outer rail respectively provided with a ridge projected outwards, the inner wall of said ridge formed as a groove that is utilized to hide the ends of said connecting elements and to enhance the structural strength of said rail;   wherein plural screw holes are bored in a bottom of said inner rail at preset locations, a female-threaded base set at an inner wall of said outer rail for corresponding to each of said screw holes so as to enable a screw to pass through said screw hole to screw together with said female-threaded base for fixing said inner rail and said outer rail; and   wherein two sides of said inner rail corresponding to the locations of said connecting elements are formed as a recess that can keep the ends of said connecting elements positioned in the inner rail so that a bottom portion of said outer rail will not be scraped by the ends of said connecting elements so that a coating of the outer rail will not be damaged while mounting said outer rail on said inner rail.
