Abstract
A railing system for mounting to railings of a fence includes a first strip and a second strip. The first and second strips each have a generally planar surface. The first and second strips can be mounted to respective fence railings. The first and second strips each have a plurality of openings extending for receiving a plurality of anchors. Each anchor has a flared portion to prevent passage of the flared portion through the respective opening and anchor the anchor against one of the first and second strips. A plurality of elongated barriers each of a fixed length extends from the first strip to the second strip when mounted to respective fence railings. Each barrier is connectable to a pair of anchors, and when connected to respective anchors, extends linearly from the first strip to the second strip.

A railing system for mounting to fence railings, comprising:
- a first strip and a second strip, the first and second strips each having a first surface and a generally planar second surface opposite the first surface,
- the first and second strips adapted to be mounted to respective fence railings, each second surface adapted to face and engage a fence railing,
- the first and second strips each defining a length and a width and having a thickness substantially less than the length or the width,
- the thickness of the first and second strips being generally uniform along the length,
- the first and second strips each having a plurality of openings extending therethrough;
- a plurality of anchors, each anchor having a leading edge, a shank and a flared portion,
- the leading edge and the shank having a cross-sectional area less than a cross-sectional area of a respective opening of the plurality of openings to permit the leading edge and the shank to extend, in a direction from the second surface to the first surface, through the respective opening of one of the first and second strip,
- the flared portion having a cross-sectional area greater than the cross-sectional area of the respective opening to prevent passage of the flared portion through the respective opening and anchor the anchor against the second surface of the one of the first and second strips,
- the shank of each anchor being bendable with respect to the flared portion of each anchor;
- a plurality of elongated barriers, each barrier having a fixed length to extend from the first strip to the second strip when mounted to respective fence railings,
- each barrier having a first end and a second end, the first end being connectable to one of the anchors when anchored to the first strip and the second end being connectable to one of the anchors when anchored to the second strip,
- each barrier, when connected to respective anchors, extending linearly from the first strip to the second strip.
