Multi-layered laminated posts and blocks for guardrail systems and method of making the same

摘要

A guardrail (10) has posts (12) and railing (16) offset from the post with blocks (14). The post has a plurality of wood layers. The wood layers are joined together with an adhesive. The adhesive is made with first and second components mixed together just prior to application. One the wood layers may be made with shorter sections joined together lengthwise to form a portion of the wood layer. The shorter sections are joined together with a finger joint. A first wood layer (20) has greater strength than a second wood layer (26) and the second wood layer is more pliable than the first wood layer. A man-made material such as plastic can be disposed between the wood layers.
