Fence stabilization system

Abstract

A fence stabilization system has a plurality of vertical fence support posts, each having hollow interiors extending the full length of each post. A column insert is positioned within each support post and extends substantially the length of the post. Each column insert is adjacent to, but spaced apart from the outer wall of the support post. The column insert has openings which are aligned with openings in the support post itself for the insertion of horizontal fence rail members into and through both the column insert and support post openings. Locking brackets with threaded connectors are located near the upper ends of the column insert and support post for securing horizontal rail members to the post. Threaded adjustment connectors are located near the lower ends of the column insert and support post to adjust the position of the column insert within the post and to secure the column insert position within the post.

1 . A fence stabilization system having horizontally configured fence rail members, said system comprising:
 at least one vertically extending support post with an outer wall and upper and lower ends, the post having a hollow internal length, an internal space, and a plurality of post opening means through the outer wall for accepting horizontal fence rail members;   a vertical column insert located adjacent to and in spaced apart relation from the outer wall and extending within substantially the full hollow internal length of the support post, the column insert comprising column insert opening means aligned with the post opening means for accepting and maintaining fence rail members extending through the post opening means into the internal space of the support post;   fence rail member locking means for securing the rail members within the post opening means and column insert opening means; and   adjustment means located at the lower end of the support post to moveably position and secure the column insert within the hollow internal length of the support post.   
   
   
       2 . The fence stabilization system as in  claim 1  wherein the fence rail locking means comprises brackets secured to inner surfaces of the column insert and connector elements. 
   
   
       3 . The fence stabilization system as in  claim 1  wherein the adjustment means comprises connectors which secure the column insert to the support post. 
   
   
       4 . The fence stabilization system as in  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of support posts as described therein. 
   
   
       5 . The fence stabilization system as in  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of rail members extending from the support post and column insert.
