Patent ID: 7314212

Claim:
A deformation and weather resistant, noise attenuating fencing assembly comprising: a series of hollow rectangular posts, each of said posts formed of a polyester cloth veiled fiberglass reinforced resin, said posts having a pair of spaced apart load bearing walls defining an exterior surface, an interior surface, a first open end and a second open end; a first metallic clip having a substantially planar surface including two integrally formed arms biased toward each other and extending on each side of said planar surface, whereby said each biased arm is inserted into said first open ends of two adjacent posts causing them to frictionally engage said interior surface of said load bearing walls of said posts, forcing them toward each other; a second metallic clip having a substantially planar surface including two integrally formed arms biased toward each other and extending on each side of said planar surface, whereby said each biased arm is inserted into said second open ends of said two adjacent posts causing them to frictionally engage said interior surface of said load bearing walls of each of said posts, forcing them toward each other; a structure reinforcing cap, constructed and arranged for attachment within said first open end having said first clip inserted therein, whereby said attachment causes said structure reinforcing cap to frictionally engage said interior surface of said post and substantially preclude movement of said exterior surface; and at least one retention means constructed and arranged for retaining said cap within said post; whereby said joined posts provide a fencing assembly having substantially no space between them for enhanced sound attenuation and privacy and each said post capable of having a weight up to 18 times the weight of said post attached to thereto.
