Abstract:

One embodiment of a poly prophelene. It's unique design allows it to slide over and to fit snugly onto a vinyl or wood rail fence. It requires no mechanical fasteners such as screws or nails. It holds onto the rail by gravity pressure, and the return clip on the bottom end and utilizes the structure and strength of the rail to support it. It is injection molded in one piece, with a living hinge at the top to hold the electric fence wire, rope, or ribbon up to 1 inches wide. It is made of poly prophelene with a Ultra Violet blocker. Each unit weighs about one ounce and are very durable and safe as they will bend rather than break. As with most vinyl based material they have a memory and will return to there manufactured shape if you bend them. We can produce them in a variety of colors to meet the customer's needs.
