BRACKET

摘要

A building system for building structures, such as a barrier in the form of a fence, includes a connector in the form of a bracket for joining panels to uprights. The bracket includes a loop portion for attaching the bracket to the upright of the fence and a retaining portion for receiving an edge or corner of the panel to secure the panel to the upright. One form of the bracket has the loop portion in alignment with the retaining portion whereas another form of the bracket has the loop portion in stepped relationship with the retaining portion. The two forms of the bracket are complementary to each other and each bracket can be used in different orientations.
