Glue an additional aluminum rail to the upper edge of the wooden strip, the about 1 cm protrudes upwards. This way you can attach your railing to anything with an eyelet, as well as everything that has a catch, attach. You can get multiplex panels at the hardware store, however, with a minimum width of 10 cm. The cut up 5 cm width you have to do it yourself or have it done by a carpenter. You have to sand the edges clean.
