Raking barrier panel

A raking barrier panel, comprising:

• a plurality of pickets;
• a first rail assembly vertically spaced apart from a second rail assembly, each comprising:
• a channel member comprising a web wall and first and second side walls extending from the web wall and a first upper rib and a first lower rib each extending from and running a length of the first side wall, a second upper rib and a second lower rib each extending from and running the length of the second side wall, the web wall defining a plurality of spaced apart openings, each opening receiving a respective one of the plurality of pickets therethrough;
• a first inner rail comprising a first recessed surface running the length of the first inner rail, the first inner rail being disposed on a first side of the plurality of pickets and a first ledge extending from the first inner rail;
• a second inner rail comprising a second recessed surface running the length of the second inner rail, the second inner rail being disposed on a second side of the plurality of pickets opposite the first side and a second ledge extending from the second inner rail, the second inner rail being separate from the first inner rail;
• a first plurality of rivets received through the first inner rail and pivotably coupling the plurality of pickets to the first inner rail, a head of each rivet of the first plurality of rivets contacting the first recessed surface;
• and
• a second plurality of rivets received through the second inner rail and pivotably coupling the plurality of pickets to the second inner rail, a head of each rivet of the second plurality of rivets contacting the second recessed surface;
• wherein, to secure the first inner rail within the channel member, the first lower rib engages the first ledge of the first inner rail and an adhesive is disposed between the first inner rail and the channel member;
• wherein, to secure the second inner rail within the channel member, the second lower rib engages the second ledge of the second inner rail and the adhesive is disposed between the second inner rail and the channel member.
