I want to clamp a piece of board across the railings at the front of

to be permanent, just for use when I need it.

Can anyone suggest quick and easy clamp/unclamp devices that can be
mounted on a piece of board (probably a 1" thick plank) to hold it
down at either end to a round railing (probably a bit more than 1"
diameter)? The railing won't run across the board at right angles,
more like 45 degrees.

I guess a pair of exhaust clamps (or similar, smaller, U-bolts) with
wing nuts would do it. Can anyone think of anything quicker and/or
more elegant?

Two planks one either side of the railing and a couple of long bolts +
nuts through the centre.

Now that's neat, I hadn't thought of that at all, thanks.
