A barrier or personnel guidance system is disclosed which utilizes vertical posts and horizontal rails each comprising an elongate central member formed, for example by a metal extrusion covered by cladding, formed for example by a plastics extrusion or extrusions, the central member and the cladding having complementary inter-engaging retaining formations. The central member comprises a central passage and lateral channels in which can be engaged various ancillary members whereby posts and rails can be interconnected, panels fitted, gate assemblies constructed and the like constructional facilities afforded.

A barrier system comprising: a plurality of fixed vertical posts, each of said posts including an elongate central member of substantially uniform cross-section throughout the length of the post, said central member having a plurality of circumferentially spaced, first and second channels longitudinally extending along the outer periphery thereof; interconnecting means including at least one horizontal rail member extending between adjacent posts, said interconnecting means having opposed end portions carrying ribbed attachment means thereon for insertion into interengaging portions of the first channels in said central portions to rigidly secure said interconnecting means thereto; cladding means carrying longitudinally extending ribbed portions for insertion within the second channels of the central member, said cladding means covering the outer periphery of the central member and substantially all portions of said first channels which are unoccupied by the inserted attachment means carried by said interconnecting means; each horizontal rail member comprising a central member and cladding means which are substantially identical to those of the fixed vertical posts, and wherein the central members of said fixed vertical posts and the central members of said horizontal rail members each have a central through passage formed therein, each of said posts including a tie bolt fitted within the central passage of the central member of each post, each of said tie bolts adapted to be rigidly secured to floor mounted base means, and wherein the attachment means carried by the horizontal rail member includes an insert fitted within the central through passage at opposed ends thereof, each of said inserts including a head portion extending outwardly from the ends of the rail member for insertion into a first channel of an adjacent post and including a shank portion integral with said head portion and adjustably postioned within said central through passage to permit axial adjustment of said inserts relative to the rail member, whereby a variation in spacing between adjacent posts may be accommodated.
