Portable support blocks

摘要

A portable support block e.g. of concrete has two pairs (14, 15) of generally upright post-receiving recesses such that upright fence posts may be located therein to support a fence extending transversely to the block along line (16, 17). Each post-receiving recess (14, 15) is slightly elliptical in plan thus to enable a post to assume a non-perpendicular angle with respect to the surface of the block in one plane whilst remaining substantially perpendicular thereto in a second plane normal to the first plane. in this way, the block may be located on uneven ground with the fence panels remaining substantially vertical. Each post-receiving recess presents a recessed shoulder (27) (Fig. 2, not shown) adapted to support a bottom horizontal frame member of a fencing panel. This feature enables the ground clearance beneath the fence to be minimised thus to increase stability.
