Perimeter structures and component parts thereof
A perimeter structure (e.g. fencing, spectator railing, knee railing) comprises a plurality of substantially hollow posts linked together via rails that extend between the tops of adjacently positioned posts. The rails are received within notches at the tops of the posts and then held in position by post caps that are also received in the post tops. The present invention also provides the posts and the post caps used in the perimeter structure. Additional barrier components may be provided between the posts. The shape of the notch and abutment surface of the caps may retain the rail in a particular orientation and prevent rotation. The rail may be of a constant cross section except for where it is engaged by the post and cap.
