Abstract
A modular fence unit provides a rigid frame supporting flexible and resilient sheet plastic that is stretched over and secured to the frame to create a visually open, yet resilient barrier. Each modular unit is provided with a connector for joining together one or more juxtaposed modular units or for attachment to an available stationary fixture such as a wall. The connectors may permit junctions between units in freely selectable angled relationships. Connections may be hinged, while others may provide a releasable latch, allowing a modular unit to serve as an access gate.
