High-security guard rail system

Abstract

An ultra-high security guard rail system, particularly for use around buildings, works of art, public places, and so forth, includes coverings to disguise and/or beautify the barrier system. In terms of a typical construction, the system includes a plurality of vertical metal pipes, with a portion of each pipe being buried one or more feet below the ground surface, and a portion of the pipe remains exposed above ground. One or more horizontal metal pipes are interconnected to the vertical metal pipes. In the preferred embodiment, the pipes are made of steel, and one or more of the pipes may be filled with a fortifying material, such as cement. A cover may be provided to visually obscure the pipes. Such a cover may give the appearance of brick, cinder block, stone or wood. In addition, the system may include a floral decorative element.
