A plurality of connectors 24 and at least one tubular section 31 each comprising reinforced plastics material can be interconnected to assemble a hand rail. More specifically, they may be made from glassfibre reinforced polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy. The connectors may have an arm which extends from a body, it preferably connects with the tubular section, having an external diameter equal to the internal diameter of the tube. An abutment 23 is preferably formed by the body at each arm junction, and corresponds to an end surface of tube, so that when connected the exterior surfaces are flush. Each arm may have a circumferential groove 22 around its exterior. The tube may have an anti-slip surface formed from a plurality of longitudinal grooves. The tube may be formed by pultrusion, the connectors by moulding. Preferably the tubes have preformed holes adjacent their ends. The tubes and connectors may be fixed using a polyurethane adhesive. The connectors are preferably in the shape of a T, cross, elbow and basal flange and may include a jointed connector.
