LOL try again..

interlocking something or other?
made of wood?

[jecasc]

Not made of wood.

Perhaps you could specify the term "interlocking" a little further, cause in my dictionary I found multiple translations. (But I think not)

[SuzyUK]

interlocking, as in a few of these would fit together like a puzzle (using the groove at the side?)

[jecasc]

In this sense yes. Several of these things are put together.

[jecasc]

Is nobody here or is it too difficult?

Heres a hint, since the material is not recognizable on the picture: It's made of concrete.

[lawman]

I just woke up.

[lawman]

Decorative moulding.

[jecasc]

No, not decorative. The thing has a real purpose.

[lawman]

Non-decorative moulding.

[SuzyUK]

purpose, like drainage?

[jecasc]

You have to put several of this things together. But it has nothing to do with music. (Rememeber - it's made of concrete).

[mcavic]

Is it meant to bear weight or resist impact, like a highway guardrail?

[jecasc]

Not a drainage. But you're getting closer.

[lawman]

Heavy metal sheet music holder.

[jecasc]

Is it meant to bear weight or resist impact, like a highway guardrail?

In a certain sense - yes.

[SuzyUK]

[jecasc]

Heavy metal sheet music holder.

No.

[lawman]

How wide is it?

[lgn1]

Jersey Barrier with built in drainage

[jecasc]

I'd estimate it's about 50cm wide and 90 cm high.

No. Not a Jersey Barrier.

[lawman]

Curbing with drainage

[jecasc]

Uh - whats a Curbing?

[lawman]

[jecasc]

Ok found the term. It curbs something and is self draining. But it has a broader purpose

[lawman]

Park your horse and allow equine piss to go down the drain.
