Rail structure and balcony comprising the rail structure

A rail structure comprising two or more rail sections at an angle with respect to each other, at least some of which rail sections comprise a top profile functioning as a handrail and having an elongated space, a bottom profile with an elongated space and a wall section connecting them,

• wherein the wall section has a top part and a bottom edge;
• the wall section is fastened immovably at its top part to the top profile with a top fastening mechanism and at its bottom edge immovably to the bottom profile with a bottom fastening mechanism;
• for fastening the wall section, the fastening mechanisms comprise a plurality of discrete fastening pieces to be pressed against the wall section;
• the fastening pieces are disposed in the top profile in the same elongated space as the top edge of the wall section and in the bottom profile in the same elongated space as the bottom edge of the wall section;
• the fastening pieces are arranged to be pressed against the wall section with tightening means to clamp the wall section between the fastening pieces and the wall of the elongated space of the respective profile;
• the wall section is thereby locked in position in the elongated spaces of the profiles such that longitudinal movement of the wall section in relation to the profiles is prevented;
• and
• the top profiles of two adjacent rail sections are fastened immovably with respect to each other with a joint comprising a reinforcing joint piece and are fastened to each other with the aid of fastening means.
