Abstract
A fence construction assembly includes a slat engaging plate, preferably constructed from a single elongated board, for attachment to a fence support member, such as a fence post of a section of fence. The board is severed lengthwise to form first and second frame parts which when located adjacent to one another form the slat engaging plate. Each of the first and second frame parts has a substantially lengthwise extending slat-engaging edge formed by the severing of the single board. The lengthwise edges of the adjacently-located first and second frame parts face toward one another and respectively define a series of first steps in the first frame part and a series of second steps in the second frame part which are complementary to the series of first steps together with the series of first steps form a series of slots between the adjacently-located first and second frame parts having a staggered pattern extending from proximate one end to proximate the other end of the slat engaging plate so as to receive and capture ends of slats of the fence section extending transversely to the slat engaging plate and so as to arrange the slats of the fence section preferably, although not necessarily, in a louvered configuration.
