Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004079132A1] A durable, moisture and insect resistant fence system made from fiber cement is provided. The fence system includes one or more fiber cement pickets aligned between two posts that are anchored to the ground. The fiber cement pickets are formed into the desired shape and dimension prior to curing of the fiber cement. One end of the pickets can be formed into popular pickets designs such as square cut, dog-eared, French gothic, scalloped, pointed, and saw-toothed. The fence system can be easily assembled using conventional techniques such as nailing or stapling. The fiber cement pickets can be formed to resemble conventional fence pickets made from natural wood, masonry, or other materials. Patterns, textures, finishes and designs are applied to the pickets using man-made processes so that the pickets have a consistent appearance.
