Abstract

A modular fence system includes a plurality of modular fence assemblies. Each fence assembly includes a first post connected to a side of a panel section and a second post connected to an opposing side of the panel section. The posts and panels are adjustable to varying heights and are attachable to one another in a plurality of varied angular orientations.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular fence system comprising:
 a plurality of modular fencing assemblies, each modular fencing assembly comprising a first post connected to first side of a panel section and a second post connected to a second side of the panel section, each of the first and second posts including an upper head containing a plurality of spaced openings extending through a height of the upper head; and   a fastener having a first downward prong and a second downward prong connected by a connecting portion, the first downward prong inserted into one of the plurality of spaced openings of one of the first or second posts of one of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies and the second downward prong inserted into one of the plurality of spaced openings of one of the first or second posts of a second one of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies to connect the one and the second one of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies in a continuous configuration.   
     
     
         2 . The modular fence system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the spaced openings of the upper head of the one of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies enables connection of the one of the plurality modular fencing assemblies with the fastener in a different angled orientation, relative to the second one of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies. 
     
     
         3 . The modular fence system of  claim 2 , wherein the angled orientation comprise an acute angle orientation, an obtuse angle orientation, a 90 degree angle orientation or a 180 degree orientation. 
     
     
         4 . The modular fence system of  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of spaced openings are equidistantly spaced about the upper head. 
     
     
         5 . The modular fence system of  claim 2 , wherein the panel section of each of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies is distinct from the panel section of each of the other of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies. 
     
     
         6 . The modular fence system of  claim 2 , wherein the panel section of each of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies is continuous with the panel section of each of the other of the plurality of module fencing assemblies. 
     
     
         7 . The modular fence system of  claim 2 , wherein each of the first and second posts includes a ground-penetrating stake. 
     
     
         8 . The modular fencing system of  claim 7 , wherein each of the first and second posts includes a ground anchor coupled to the ground-penetrating stake. 
     
     
         9 . The modular fencing system of  claim 8 , wherein the ground anchor presents a foot-placement upper surface. 
     
     
         10 . The modular fencing system of  claim 9 , wherein the ground anchor minimizes rotational movement of the post. 
     
     
         11 . The modular fencing system of  claim 1 , further comprising a panel connector connecting the panel section to at least one of the first and second post. 
     
     
         12 . The modular fence system according to  claim 7 , wherein the panel connector comprises a first loop that engages the at least one of the first and second post and a second loop that engages the panel section, the first loop connected to the second loop by first and second side lengths. 
     
     
         13 . The modular fence system according to  claim 1 , wherein the panel section is rolled about the first and second posts in an uninstalled configuration and wherein the panel section is extended between the first and second posts in an installed configuration. 
     
     
         14 . A modular fence system comprising:
 a plurality of modular fencing assemblies, wherein each of the plurality of modular fencing assemblies includes:   a first post and a second post, each of the first and second post having a central channel housing an interior height-adjusting post, wherein the interior height-adjusting post is secured to its respective post at one of a plurality of selectable heights;   a panel section extending between the first post and the second post including at least one cross component having first and second ends, each of the first and second ends including a horizontal portion that is perpendicular to each of the first and second post; and   a first post receptacle secured to the first post and a second post receptacle secured to the second post at one of a plurality of selectable heights, wherein the first and second post receptacles receive, respectively, the horizontal portion of the first and second ends of the cross component to connect to the panel section to the first and second post.   
     
     
         15 . The modular fence system of  claim 14 , wherein the panel section includes a vertical component that is perpendicular to the horizontal portion of the cross component and wherein the vertical component includes a height-adjusting interior component that is secured to vertical component at one of a plurality of selectable heights. 
     
     
         16 . The modular fence system of  claim 14 , wherein each of the first and second post receptacles includes a base and three sides extending from the base in the same direction. 
     
     
         17 . The modular fence system of  claim 16 , wherein each of the first and second receptacles includes a hinged top portion to engage at least two of the three sides, the engaged top portion retaining the first and second ends, respectively, of the cross component. 
     
     
         18 . The modular fence system of  claim 16 , wherein at least one of the three sides of each of the first and second receptacles is secured, respectively, to the horizontal portion of the first and second ends of the cross component of the panel section. 
     
     
         19 . The modular fence system of  claim 14 , a first post and a second post, each of the first and second post having central channel housing an interior height-adjusting post, wherein the interior height-adjusting post of the first post is secured to the first post at a first height and wherein the interior height adjusting post of the second post is secured to the second post at a second height that is different from the first height. 
     
     
         20 . The modular fence system of  claim 15 , wherein the panel section includes a plurality of vertical components, wherein the height-adjusting interior vertical component of a first one of the plurality of vertical component is adjusted to a first height and wherein the height-adjusting interior vertical component of a second one of the plurality of vertical component is adjusted to a second height that is different from the first height.
