Fence panel system

Abstract

A fence panel system includes a plurality of fence panels positioned in a line, each of the fence panels coupled together in series by a plurality of rail members that extend horizontally between a plurality of fence posts, where each of the fence panels having a first side edge and a second side edge opposite the first side edge with each of the side edges configured to receive a side edge of a second fence panel to form a vertical connection, and where each of the fence panels includes a plurality of mesas traversing from the first side edge to the second side edge. The fence panel system can further include a plurality of fasteners to connect the plurality of fence panels to the plurality of rail members.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fence panel system comprising:
 a plurality of fence panels positioned in a line, each of the fence panels coupled together in series by a plurality of rail members that extend horizontally between a plurality of fence posts;   each of the fence panels having a first side edge and a second side edge opposite the first side edge, each of the side edges configured to receive a side edge of a second fence panel to form a vertical connection; and   each of the fence panels having a plurality of mesas traversing from the first side edge to the second side edge.   
     
     
         2 . The fence panel system of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of fasteners to connect the plurality of fence panels to the plurality of rail members. 
     
     
         3 . The fence panel system of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of fasteners are flex screws. 
     
     
         4 . The fence panel system of  claim 1 , wherein the first side edge and the second side edge each includes a v-shaped channel configured to form the vertical connection of the plurality of fence panels positioned in a line. 
     
     
         5 . The fence panel system of  claim 1 , wherein the first side edge and the second side edge each includes a circular-shaped channel configured to form the vertical connection. 
     
     
         6 . The fence panel system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of mesas includes a center mesa. 
     
     
         7 . The fence panel system of  claim 6 , wherein the center mesa that has a length 5/16 of an inch. 
     
     
         8 . The fence panel system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of mesas includes a center mesa and at least two adjacent mesas having depths offset from the center mesa. 
     
     
         9 . The fence panel system of  claim 8 , wherein the at least two adjacent mesas have depth offsets of ¼ inches. 
     
     
         10 . The fence panel system of  claim 1 , wherein the first side edge and the second side edge each includes an end channel configured to form the vertical connection of the plurality of fence panels positioned in a line, wherein the end channel has a depth offset of 5/16 inches. 
     
     
         11 . A fence panel comprising:
 a first side edge and a second side edge opposite the first side edge;   a plurality of mesas traversing from the first side edge to the second side edge;   wherein the first side edge defines a first end channel;   wherein the second side edge defines a second end channel;   wherein the plurality of mesas includes a center mesa and at least one adjacent mesa with a depth offset from the center mesa.
