The system has hollow metal balusters formed of metals which may be harmed by the corrosive effects of the wood preservative. The metal balusters are protected from the corrosive effects of the wood preservative by inert fixtures interposed between the wooden components of the railing system and the metal of the balusters. The fixtures may be joined by runners that simplify installation of the railing system.
