Fence
A fence is a structure that encloses an area, typically outdoors, and is usually constructed from posts that are connected by boards, wire, rails or net (textile), netting. A fence differs from a wall in not having a solid foundation along its whole length. Alternatives to fencing include a ditch (fortification), ditch (sometimes filled with water, forming a moat). Types By function * Agricultural fencing, to keep livestock in and/or predators out * Blast fence, a safety device that redirects the high energy exhaust from a jet engine * Sound barrier or acoustic fencing, to reduce noise pollution * Crowd control barrier * Privacy fencing, to provide privacy and security * Temporary fencing, to provide safety, security, and to direct movement; wherever temporary access control is required, especially on building and construction sites * Perimeter fencing, to prevent trespassing or theft and/or to keep children and pets from wandering away. * Decorative fencing, to enhan ...

Steel Fence Post
A steel fence post, also called (depending on design or country) a T-post, a Y-post, or variants on star post, is a type of fence post or picket. They are made of steel and are sometimes manufactured using durable rail steel. They can be used to support various types of safe t post brackets, barbed or smooth wire, or wire mesh. The end view of the post creates an obvious T, Y, or other shape. The posts are driven into the ground with a manual or pneumatic post pounder. All along the post, along the spine, there are studs or nubs that prevent the steel brackets, barbed wire, smooth wire or mesh from sliding up or down the post. They are generally designated as 1.01, 1.25 or 1.33, and 1.5 (for high-fence ranches), referring to the weight in pounds per lineal foot. They are commonly painted with a white tip on top; white improves the visibility of the fence line. When driving the post with a post pounder the white top paint is a visual means to ensure the user doesn’t raise ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tumblewheel
An electric fence is a barrier that uses electric shocks to deter humans and other animals from crossing a boundary. Most electric fences are used for agricultural purposes and other non-human animal control. They may also be used to protect high-security areas such as military installations or prisons, where potentially lethal voltages may be applied. Virtual electric fences for livestock using Global Positioning System, GPS technology have also been developed. Design and function Electric fences are designed to shock animals or humans if they attempt to cross the boundary. A component called a power energiser converts power into a brief high voltage pulse. One terminal of the power energiser releases an Electricity, electrical pulse along a connected bare wire about once per second. Another terminal is connected to a metal rod implanted in the earth, called a ground (electricity), ground or earth rod. An animal touching both the wire and the earth during a pulse will complet ...

Fence Post Error
An off-by-one error or off-by-one bug (known by acronyms OBOE, OBOB, OBO and OB1) is a logic error that involves a number that differs from its intended value by 1. An off-by-one error can sometimes appear in a mathematical context. It often occurs in computer programming when a loop iterates one time too many or too few, usually caused by the use of non-strict inequality (≤) as the terminating condition where strict inequality (<) should have been used, or vice versa. Off-by-one errors also stem from confusion over . Cases Looping over arrays Consider an of items, and items ''m'' through ''n'' (inclusive) are to be processed.

Peruvian Fence Post
''Trichocereus macrogonus'', synonym ''Echinopsis macrogonus'', is a species of cactus found in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Two varieties are accepted : var. ''macrogonus'' and var. ''pachanoi''. Plants contain varying amounts of the psychoactive alkaloid mescaline. They have been used both ritually and in traditional medicine from pre-Columbian times. ''Trichocereus macrogonus'' is one of a number of similar species that may be called San Pedro cactus. Indigenous names include ''achuma'' and ''huachuma'', although these too may be applied to similar species. Description The species has erect stems, tall, with branches generally with a diameter of , occasionally more. At the base of the stem there are usually seven or eight ribs. Generally the species has relatively few ribs, typically six to eight, occasionally five or nine. The circular areoles are across, grey or dark brown, with needle-like spines, and are spaced more than apart. The number and length of the spines varies. ...

Agricultural Fencing
In agriculture, fences are used to keep animals in or out of an area. They can be made from a wide variety of materials, depending on terrain, location and animals to be confined. Most agricultural fencing averages about high, and in some places, the height and construction of fences designed to hold livestock is mandated by law. A is the strip of land by a fence that is left uncultivated. It may be a hedgerow or a shelterbelt (windbreak) or a refugee for native plants. If not too narrow, it acts as a habitat corridor. History Historically throughout most of the world, domestication, domesticated livestock would roam freely and were fenced out of areas, such as gardens or fields of crops, where they were unwanted. Over time, especially where crop agriculture became dominant and population density of both humans and animals was significant, livestock owners were made to fence their animals in. The earliest fences were made of available materials, usually Rock (geology), stone ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fencepost Limestone
Fencepost limestone, Post Rock limestone, or Stone Post is a Bed (geology), stone bed in the Great Plains notable for its historic use as fencing and construction material in north-central Kansas resulting in unique cultural expression. The source of this stone is the topmost layer of the Greenhorn Limestone, Greenhorn Limestone formation. It is a regional Marker horizon, marker bed as well as a valued construction material of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Kansas. This stone was very suitable for early construction in treeless settlements and it adds a notable rust orange tint to the region's many historic stone buildings. But the most famous use is seen in the countless miles of stone posts lining country roads and highways. This status gives rise to such regional appellations as Stone Post Country, K-232 (Kansas highway), Post Rock Scenic Byway, and Lincoln Center, Kansas#History, The Post Rock Capital of Kansas.

Post Pounder
A post pounder, post driver, post rammer, post knocker or fence driver is a tool used for driving fence posts and similar items into land surfaces. It consists of a heavy steel pipe which is closed at one end and has handles welded onto the sides. It is normally used by one person, but larger versions may require two. History An early type was developed in 1933 by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to aid the installation of fencing along roads and highways. Operation The open end is put over the top of the post to be driven, then the tool is lifted and dropped repeatedly onto the top of the post. The closed end strikes the top of the post, driving it into the ground. Unlike a maul it can be used easily on tall posts, such as those used for deer fencing. Because the tube guides the striking force consistently in line with the post and strikes it across its full width, a post pounder usually damages the top of the post less than a maul. It is not suitable for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
