Customizable Extruded Bottom Fence Rail

Abstract

A customizable extruded bottom rail for a fence having a topside that is machine customizable to receive a plurality of stanchions taken from the group of picket, post, pole rod, bar, shaft, bar, and lath and supported on a substantially co-planar platform interiorly extending the length of the rail spaced apart from the topside separating the interior cavity into a stanchion supporting portion and a structurally reinforced portion with the structurally reinforced portion having a metallic stiffener positioned within a stiffener compartment having a plurality of braces extending between the rail's interior walls and the stiffener compartment walls that are situated for continued structural integrity of the product and continued continuity of the rail having the stiffener serving as brace anchor and deterring deformation of the fence rail of the instant invention from exterior forces.

1 . A customizable extruded bottom fence rail comprising:
 a) a housing having a top side, bottom side with spaced apart walls therebetween;   b) a longitudinal wall dividing the housing interior surface into a picket support portion and a structural support portion; and   c) a structural support portion stiffener compartment extending the length of the fence bottom rail for insertion therein of a rigid stiffening member.   
   
   
       2 . The customizable extruded bottom fence rail as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the rigid stiffening member is metal. 
   
   
       3 . The customizable extruded bottom fence rail as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the stiffener compartment walls and metal stiffener have a portion transversely forming a tab fixing the metal stiffener location. 
   
   
       4 . The customizable extruded bottom fence rail as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the topside planar surface provides for machining at least one aperture therein for insertion therethrough of a stanchion that is supported upon said longitudinal wall. 
   
   
       5 . The customizable extruded bottom fence rail as recited in  claim 4  wherein said stanchion is taken from the group of sheet, panel, board, plank, slat, and lath. 
   
   
       6 . The customizable extruded bottom fence rail as recited in  claim 1  wherein the stiffening compartment has a substantially elliptical shape fixedly positioned with a plurality of braces; 
   
   
       7 . The customizable extruded bottom fence rail as recited in  claim 6  wherein said braces extend between the stiffener compartment exterior wall to the housing interior wall. 
   
   
       8 . The customizable extruded bottom fence rail as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the braces comprise a pair of stiffener compartment top portion braces, a pair of central portion braces and a pair of bottom portion braces.
