Patent ID: 7306203

Claim:
A fencing system comprising: a post mount having upper and lower ends; a post insert comprising a sidewall spaced outwardly from the post mount; the post insert mountable on the post mount so that the post mount extends through the post insert with the upper end of the post mount disposed above the sidewall and the lower end of the post mount disposed below the sidewall; a first flange which is connected to and extends inwardly from the sidewall and abuts the post mount; a second flange which is spaced vertically from the first flange, is connected to and extends inwardly from the sidewall and abuts the post mount; a first surface on the first flange; a second surface on the second flange which faces the first surface so that the first and second surfaces define therebetween an interior chamber; at least one first spacing projection connected to and extending outwardly from the first flange away from the interior chamber and outwardly beyond the sidewall in a first direction; a first seating surface on the at least one first spacing projection on which the post insert is seatable on an upwardly facing surface to set a first height of the sidewall; at least one second spacing projection connected to and extending outwardly from the second flange away from the interior chamber and outwardly beyond the sidewall in a second direction generally opposite to that of the first direction; a second seating surface on the at least one second spacing projection on which the post insert is alternately seatable on the upwardly facing surface to set a second height of the sidewall different from the first height; a structural member having an inner surface defining a cavity in an end thereof; the post mount and post insert being slidably received in the cavity of the structural member with the inner surface thereof abutting the sidewall of the post insert; a rail structure extending outwardly from the structural member; and at least one fastener extending from the rail structure through the structural member to the sidewall to secure the rail structure and the structural member to the sidewall.
