Abstract
A self-tensioning fencing system includes a tensioner bar which is mounted directly to a structural support such as a fence post using standard nails, screws or bolts as required according to the type of a particular fence post. The tensioner bar includes a projection for pressing plastic fencing material into a recess in the fence post to allow the plastic fencing material to be tensioned across the structural support posts. A trim cap extrusion is shaped complementary to a side of the tensioner bar, opposite to the projection for engaging with the fencing material, so as to engage and cover the tensioner bar. A post cap covers the upper end of the fence post, tensioner bar and trim cap extrusion.
