Abstract
A clamp (300) for use in supporting fence panels (306). The clamp (300) enables adjustment of the tilt of a panel (306) to be supported in the clamp (300) using movable clamp assemblies (364, 365) within the clamp, positionable using a tilt adjuster (screw 348). The adjuster screw (348) and a screw (350) that clamps clamping members (302, 304) of the clamp (300) are located under the supported panel (306) so as to be unobtrusive. Clamps (600, 800) on the same principle are provided which are suitable for different mounting arrangements, including a clamp (800) which can be grouted in place yet enable easy replacement of a broken panel.
