"No Holes" Fencing Solution

When you have a heart attack while putting up a fence, it's a pretty good incentive to invent a new kind of fence. That's what happened to Dennis Arden, who went to the drawing board after suffering a heart attack while fencing in 10 acres.
  Four years and several prototypes later, ArdenX Fence (U.S. Patent 7753346) is on the market in three different sizes starting with 2 by 2-in., 3/16-in. square tubing to build fences up to 5 ft., 11 in. tall. The two legs of each X can be raised and lowered (down to 3 ft., 8 in.) similar to a camera tripod for different heights, as well as on uneven land or along hillsides. A horizontal tube attached to uniquely designed universal joints allows the fence to curve, zigzag, make a corner and go up and down. Once set up, torque bolts are tightened to hold the legs and horizontal bars in place. Any kind of fencing can be attached to six guides on the legs.
  "The wire can be whatever the customer wants," Lobree says. "Some just put on two wires. It can be electrical, barbed wire, ceramic wires, even chicken wire."
  While the company receives orders for miles of fencing, some customers mix it with more standard fencing. One customer planned to place it on a granite fence corner he's been fighting for years. Others use it for working cattle, since it can be reconfigured and set up for temporary use. Because the fence is wider (3 ft. at the base) it replaces the taller fence usually required to hold in deer ù or keep them out.
  Some customers run irrigation hose, electric wire or other types of cable inside the horizontal tubing.
  Cost for the fence starts at $25 per lineal foot, which is partially recouped by less labor costs. A crew of four can easily set up a mile of the 75-lb. X posts in a day.
  ArdenX also sells larger 4 by 4 in. and 6 by 6 in. leg versions for industrial, commercial and military applications.
