A side mounting assembly having a u-shaped bracket is sized to engage the lip, the side mounting assembly having a first clamp positioned to engage the lip, the side mounting assembly further having a side mounting element sized to receive a side post from the rail assembly. The rail assembly includes a plurality of horizontal posts configured to couple with at least one on the corner post or the side post.

The guard includes a left side extension operably connected to a left segment, the left segment operably connected to a left corner, the left corner operably connected to a middle segment, the middle segment operably connected to a right corner, the right corner operably connected to a right segment, the right segment operably connected to a right extension, wherein each of the left segment, the middle segment and the right segment comprise at least one support maintaining a distance of each of the left segment, the middle segment and the right segment from a supporting surface, and wherein the left segment, the middle segment and the right segment are configured to form a first opening, the first opening so dimensioned and configured as to accept insertion of a first container.

A railing joint is provided. The railing joint is used for connecting a baluster to a rail, and the railing joint is capable of being inserted into an inner cavity of the baluster. The railing joint includes a main body and a washer. The main body includes a groove and a first joint, the first joint is provided with a first reinforcing rib, the first reinforcing rib is capable of abutting against an inner wall of the baluster, and one end of the main body is connected to the rail. The washer is sleeved in the groove and capable of abutting against the inner wall of the baluster in a sealed manner.

A pipe extrusion includes a cross-section with a substantially round outer perimeter. A round portion of the substantially round outer perimeter preferably has an included angle of less than 300 degrees. A pair of inward facing flanges terminate the round portion. A cross member is formed across an inner area of the round portion. The cross member is parallel with the pair of inward facing flanges. A position of the cross member relative to a centerline of the round portion is between 0-20 degrees from the center line of the round portion. The pipe extrusion is preferably fabricated from any suitable aluminum alloy, such as T-6 aluminum.

Aspects described herein relate metallic railings that include a sound damping polymeric material affixed to a surface of the railing. The metallic railing can be solid or hollow and can have a circular or non-circular cross section. By positioning the sound damping polymeric material on the inner surface or the underside surface of the metallic railing, the tone produced when the metallic railing is struck can be tuned.

A panel mounting system for mounting a linear panel structure on a surface, having a plurality of posts, each having a base plate with mounting surfaces for surface attachment and a vertical extension having a lateral support beam perpendicular to a panel-receiving cross beam; first and second opposing semi-circular channels within first and second ends of the panel-receiving cross beam, wherein each channel forms a channel angle of 45 to 135 degrees relative to the lateral support beam; a hollow, circular cylindrical insert insertable into each channel; and a panel mountable between each pair of adjacent posts, each end of the panel insertable into a corresponding insert.

Embodiments of a handrail kit are provided. The handrail kit includes a cover, a first endcap, a second endcap, and a support member. The support member includes a longitudinal axis, a first end along the longitudinal axis, a second end along the longitudinal axis, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a first longitudinal side, and a second longitudinal side. The first lateral side of the support member is configured to be secured directly against a mounting surface. The first endcap is configured to mate with the first end of the support member and the second endcap is configured to mate with the second end of the support member. The cover is configured to be placed over the second lateral side of the support member and to engage the first longitudinal side and the second longitudinal side of the support member.

Embodiments of railing systems are disclosed. One embodiment comprises a horizontal wood deck, first and second vertical wood posts mounted to the wood deck, a horizontal wood hand railing mounted to the posts and over the deck, and a vertical metal stabilizer apparatus. The vertical metal stabilizer apparatus has (a) a plurality of horizontal metal bars, each of the bars having an elongated body with first and second ends mounted to the first and second vertical wood posts, respectively; and (b) a vertical metal stabilizer having an elongated body with first and second ends, the body having a plurality of apertures, each of the apertures receiving a respective one of the bars, the first and second ends having first and second attachment means respectively that secure the stabilizer to the deck and hand railing, respectively.
