ABSTRACT:
A two-part rail is formed from a channel element which includes internal runners and stops which form a tray holder. A separate tray element may slide into the channel element, where it is supported on and confined by the tray holder. The tray element and channel element define boundaries of a retainer channel. Pickets traversed by alignable retainer passages are inserted through registering picket openings in the channel and tray elements of a rail. The pickets are secured to the rail by inserting a rod-like retaining element into the retainer channel of the rail and through the aligned retainer passages of the pickets.
