Abstract:
1. A fence comprising two rails, where each rail comprises two sides and a top web, where one side comprises a rail lip, a rib, and a snap divot, where the rib extends perpendicularly from the one side and has an upper face, and where the snap divot has a bottom, a plurality of pickets, two fastener covers, where each fastener cover has a knuckle portion, a rib portion, and a snap dimple, where the rib portion extends perpendicularly from a side face and has a lower face, and where the snap dimple has a top, and a plurality of fasteners, where each picket is secured to the top of the two rails by means of the plurality of fasteners, where the fastener cover covers the fasteners that secure the pickets to the rails, where the upper face of the rib of the rail mates with the bottom face of the rib of the fastener cover, where the bottom of the snap divot of the rail mates with the top of the snap dimple of the fastener cover, whereby the mating of the ribs creates a compression point that allows the snap divot and snap dimple to snap together thus increasing the rigidity of the fastener cover and rail.
