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.
