<p>A fence assembly (10) comprising a plurality of panels (11, 12, 13 and 14) with a panel (15) about to be connected to panel (11). The panel (11) is shown in part with a dappled appearance at (16 and 17) due to the inclusion of a shrink-wrap cover applied to the panel (11). All other panels also have a similar coating. The panel (11) has a based form of a rigid mesh. The shrink-wrap material is applied to the mesh as a flat panel. The panel with the shrink-wrap so applied is then folded over at the top and bottom to form rail (18) as a lower rail and (19) an upper rail. The panels taper so the spacing between the upper and lower rails is wider at one end than the other so the panels are effectively left and right handed. A star picket is driven ground through the overlapping rails. A cap is applied to the posts and held by a retainer and pin.</p>
