       15 . The fence attachment system of  claim 14 , wherein the joint element includes two parallel extending brackets with aligned holes and a joint bolt received in the aligned holes. 
   
   
       16 . The fence attachment system of  claim 15 , wherein a head of the joint bolt in a mounted position does not extend above the bracket. 
   
   
       17 . The fence attachment system of  claim 16 , wherein the hole in one of the brackets has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the joint bolt on an outer side of said bracket. 
   
   
       18 . The fence attachment system of  claim 1 , further including a gate lock stop fastened to the fence post clamp. 
   
   
       19 . The fence attachment system of  claim 18 , wherein the fence post clamp has a flat surface where the gate lock stop bears against. 
   
   
       20 . The fence attachment system of  claim 19 , wherein the stop has at least one fitting strip for encompassing at least partially the fence post. 
   
   
       21 . The fence attachment system of  claim 20 , wherein the fitting strip is provided with a replaceable component for fitting different fence posts. 
   
   
       22 . The fence attachment system of  claim 20 , wherein the stop is attached in one of two positions rotated 180 degree relative to one another. 
   
   
       23 . The fence attachment system of  claim 21 , wherein the stop includes means for attachment of an elastic buffer. 
   
   
       24 . The fence attachment system of  claim 1 , wherein the second anchoring device is part of a supplemental component for attachment at the fence post clamp. 
   
   
       25 . The fence attachment system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the components is made from aluminum. 
   
   
       26 . The fence post clamp for a fence attachment system comprising a ring-shaped element including means for contracting the clamp circumferentially, said ring-shaped element including an anchoring device for attachment, wherein the means for circumferentially contracting the clamp is a gap in the circumference of the ring-shaped element. 
   
   
       27 . The fence post clamp of  claim 26 , wherein the anchoring device is at least two holes spaced circumferentially on the ring-shaped element for interacting with an adapter to attach a fence panel at the fence post clamp.
