Guardrail alternative

First I have bought a 3 - wire ribbon cable and a round aluminum tubing from the hardware store. The aluminum tube I cut into 3.5 cm long items. Then I painted the items and the ribbon cable gray. Now I screwed 6 cm long screws through the plywood and chipboard. About this the cutted aluminium tubings were placed and glued with super glue. Final I glued the ribbon cable to the aluminium tubings and fixed with clothes pins. Alternative you can attach the cable to the aluminum tube pieces with small screws. Maybe someone wants to try it.

After several accidents you must rework !
But on account of the great optics that is not a problem for me.

I wonder if you used Krylon Fusion paint for plastic if that would minimize the potential for paint loss? But any way you cut it, that makes for some cool guardrail for a very reasonable price! I like it!

Doesn't a bit of paint loss add to the "atmosphere"?

Really good idea!
