A fencing assembly includes a top cross-member having a first channel, a bottom cross-member having a second channel, a first vertical support member, a second vertical support member, and a planar barrier. The first vertical support member is connected to a first end of the top cross-member and a first end of the bottom cross-member and the second vertical support member is connected to a second end of the top cross-member and a second end of the bottom cross-member. The planar barrier is inserted into the first channel and the second channel and is confined on a first and second side of the planar barrier by the first vertical support member and the second vertical support member.

A unitary railing portion for a railing assembly may include a top portion, a bottom portion, a first side portion, and a second side portion. At least one aperture in the unitary railing portion may be configured for inserting a baluster along an axis of insertion between the first side portion and the second side portion. A channel may be extended from the first side portion and a cantilevered arm may be extended from the second side portion. A retaining element may be disposed at least partially in the channel. The retaining element and the cantilevered arm may be configured to retain the baluster relative to the unitary railing portion. In some examples, the unitary railing portion may be included in a railing assembly. The railing assembly may include at least one unitary railing portion and at least one baluster inserted into the unitary railing portion.
