1. A fence comprising: a plurality of posts;at least a first fence panel and at least a second fence panel, each of said at least a first fence panel and at least a second fence panel having at least one picket extending across each of at least two tubular rails such that said at least one picket is in a separate plane than said at least two tubular rails, which at least two rails extend across each of selected ones of said plurality of posts such that the at least two rails are in a separate plane than the selected ones of said plurality of posts, and are secured thereto; andat least one tubular splice for coupling one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel to a respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel, thereby forming a continuous conduit from one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel to a respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel;said at least one tubular splice inserted in respective ends of said one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel and said respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel such that: said at least one tubular splice, said one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel, and said respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel form a continuous rail in a separate plane than each of said selected ones of said plurality of posts, said at least one picket of said at least a first fence panel, and said at least one picket of said at least a second fence panel; andsaid at least a first fence panel and said at least a second fence panel form a continuous section of fence panel;wherein said fence further comprises a third fence panel and a fourth fence panel, each of said third and fourth fence panels having at least one picket extending across at least two tubular rails, which at least two rails extend across selected ones of said plurality of posts, and are secured thereto, said third panel being a transom fence panel, wherein: said third fence panel is positioned between said second fence panel and said fourth fence panel;at least one rail of said third fence panel is coupled to a respective one of said at least two rails of said second fence panel using a second tubular splice;said least one rail of said third fence panel is coupled to a respective one of said at least two rails of said fourth fence panel using a third tubular splice; andsaid second, third, and fourth fence panels forming a gate panel adapted to receive a gate coupled to a gate jamb of said gate panel. 2. The fence of claim 1, further comprising: at least one jamb formed onto said at least one first fence panel; andat least one gate hung onto said at least one jamb. 3. The fence of claim 1, wherein said at least one splice is sized for fitting within said one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel and said respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel. 4. The fence of claim 1, wherein said at least one splice is sized for fitting within said one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel and within said respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel, said fence further comprising mechanical fasteners for securing said at least one splice within said respective ones of said at least two rails. 5. The fence of claim 1, said fence further comprising at least one cable running through said conduits. 6. The fence of claim 1, comprising a mullion post positioned below said third fence panel and attached to at least one rail of said third fence panel. 7. The fence of claim 1, wherein said plurality of posts comprises at least three posts, a first post being spaced from a second post at a different distance than a third post is spaced from said second post. 8. The fence of claim 1, wherein said at least two rails are secured to said selected ones of said plurality of posts using one or more rail hangers installed on said selected ones of said plurality of posts. 9. The fence of claim 8, wherein: a bracket is attached to each of said selected ones of said plurality of posts; andeach of said one or more rail hangers is secured to a respective one of said selected ones of said plurality of posts using at least one of said brackets. 10. The fence of claim 1, comprising chain link overlaying at least said first fence panel. 11. The fence of claim 1, said at least one picket of said first fence panel having been attached said at least two rails of said first fence panel prior to securing said at least two rails of said first fence panel to said selected ones of said plurality of posts. 12. A fence comprising: a plurality of posts;at least a first fence panel and at least a second fence panel, each of said at least a first fence panel and at least a second fence panel having at least one picket extending across at least two tubular rails such that said at least one picket is in a separate plane than said at least two tubular rails, the at least two rails extending across selected ones of said plurality of posts such that said first and second fence panels are in a separate plane than said plurality of posts, and are secured thereto, said at least two rails being secured to said selected ones of said plurality of posts using one or more rail hangers installed on said selected ones of said plurality of posts using one or more brackets; andat least one tubular splice for coupling one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel to a respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel, thereby forming a continuous conduit from one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel to a respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel;said at least one tubular splice inserted in respective ends of said one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel and said respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel such that: said at least one tubular splice, said one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel, and said respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel form a continuous rail in a separate plane than each of said selected ones of said plurality of posts, said at least one picket of said at least a first fence panel, and said at least one picket of said at least a second fence panel; andsaid at least a first fence panel and said at least a second fence panel form a continuous section of fence panel;wherein said fence further comprises a third fence panel and a fourth fence panel, each of said third and fourth fence panels having at least one picket extending across at least two tubular rails, which at least two rails extend across selected ones of said plurality of posts, and are secured thereto, said third panel being a transom fence panel, wherein: said third fence panel is positioned between said second fence panel and said fourth fence panel;at least one rail of said third fence panel is coupled to a respective one of said at least two rails of said second fence panel using a second tubular splice;said least one rail of said third fence panel is coupled to a respective one of said at least two rails of said fourth fence panel using a third tubular splice; andsaid second, third, and fourth fence panels forming a gate panel adapted to receive a gate coupled to a gate jamb of said gate panel. 13. The fence of claim 12, wherein said at least one splice is sized for fitting within said one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel and said respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel. 14. The fence of claim 12, wherein said at least one splice is sized for fitting within said one of said at least two rails of said at least a first fence panel and within said respective one of said at least two rails of said at least a second fence panel, said fence further comprising mechanical fasteners for securing said at least one splice within said respective ones of said at least two rails. 15. The fence of claim 12, said fence further comprising at least one cable running through said conduits. 16. The fence of claim 12, wherein said plurality of posts comprises at least three posts, a first post being spaced from a second post at a different distance than a third post is spaced from said second post. 17. The fence of claim 12, said at least one picket of said first fence panel having been attached said at least two rails of said first fence panel prior to securing said at least two rails of said first fence panel to said selected ones of said plurality of posts.
