a center; and horizontal support members extending diagonally from the corners of said square peripheral shoulder or rim toward the center of said square vertically recessed area and merging into a hollow, downwardly-projecting cylinder, a bottom surface of said hollow, downwardly-projecting cylinder providing a center support for said one or more floor panel frames and said floor panel, the bottom also providing an insertion point for a foundation anchor; a bottom opening of said hollow, downwardly-projecting cylinder having a smaller diameter than a top opening of said hollow, downwardly-projecting cylinder, thereby forming an obstructing shoulder or lip at said bottom opening; said four legs each having a horizontal cross-section shaped as one quadrant of a flat toroid, each of said four legs insertable into a floor panel frame connector, with said four legs providing corner support for said one or more floor panel frames; wherein each of said four legs further comprising two round holes in a bottom surface extending upwardly into each of said four short legs, wherein said two round holes to receive a corresponding connector column of said floor panel frame connector; in a top surface of each corner of said square peripheral shoulder or rim of said square vertically recessed area is a slot, said slot connecting downwardly to a latch chamber, said latch chamber in the shape of two diagonally opposed quarter-circles; said floor panel having corners and a horizontally-projecting top surface rim or lip, said horizontally-projecting top surface rim or lip resting on and supported by said square peripheral shoulder or rim of said square recessed area of said square table top of said one or more floor panel frames, and with a bottom surface shaped to fit onto and over and around upper surface portions of said horizontal support members and said hollow, downwardly-projecting cylinder of said one or more floor panel frames; wherein said floor panel is installed to said one or more floor panel frames by being lowered into place and secured at each corner to said one or more floor panel frames by a floor panel latch; said floor panel also having a slot in each corner, said slot centered within a round counter-sunk surface and vertically penetrating said floor panel; said floor panel latch being configured for securing said floor panels to said one or more floor panel frames, said floor panel latch comprising a round top and a downwardly-projecting T-shaped flange, said round top having a cross-bar protruding upwardly from a vertically-recessed surface to allow said floor panel latch to be rotated horizontally by hand; wherein when said T-shaped flange is inserted through said slot in said each said corner of said floor panel, with said T-shaped flange continuing into said latch chamber, said floor panel latch is rotated ninety degrees clockwise, thereby placing said T-shaped flange in opposition to said slot in a top surface of each said corner of said square peripheral shoulder or rim of said square vertically recessed area of said one or more floor panel frames, thereby securing said corner of said floor panel to said one or more floor panel frames; said floor panel frame connector comprises a plurality of variously-configured floor panel frame connectors for connecting and supporting two or more of said one or more floor panel frames into a variable horizontal arrangement or floor plan, wherein at least one of said plurality of variously-configured floor panel frame connectors being configured to receive a post wherein said post provides vertical support for a post bracket; said plurality of variously-configured floor panel frame connectors being individually configured to receive, support, and connect said four legs of one, or two, or three, or four of said one or more floor panel frames in a right-angle, four-quadrant radial pattern, said one or more floor panel frames being installed by being lowered into place onto said plurality of variously-configured floor panel frame connectors; a first connector configuration of said plurality of variously-configured floor panel frame connectors comprising a full-circle flat base having a periphery and an upwardly-projecting round center column, with eight connector columns symmetrically and radially arranged and spaced around said round center column, each of said connector columns equidistant between the periphery of said full-circle flat base and a side surface of said upwardly-projecting round center column, and projecting upwardly from a surface of said full-circle flat base; three additional different connector configurations of said plurality of variously-configured floor panel frame connectors deriving from a full-circle configuration comprising three-quarters of said full-circle configuration, one-half of said full-circle configuration, and one-quarter of said full-circle configuration; each of the additional different connector configurations comprising a round center column containing a vertical unthreaded bore hole in the center of a top surface of said round center column; a fifth connector configuration of said plurality of variously-configured floor panel frame connectors comprising a threaded hole in a top center surface of an upwardly-projecting round center column, and an upwardly-projecting sidewall around a periphery of a full-circle flat base; said threaded hole configured to accept a threaded end of a variable-height post, thereby allowing the installation of partitioning components or roofing components; said variable-height post includes a plurality of variable-height posts comprising a threaded bottom outer surface, a center hole running a full length of said variable-height post, said center hole being threaded at a top portion of said variable-height post, allowing for screw-in installation of either a finial or said roofing components; edge frame sections for providing filler to said plurality of variously-configured floor panel frame connectors and providing a finished edge; said edge frame sections having downwardly-projecting leg elements identical in configuration to said four legs of said one or more floor panel frames, a post bracket, consisting of a square core having four sides, with a center bore hole running a full length of said square core of said post bracket, and with a T-shaped channel running a full length of each of the four sides of said square core, said T-shaped channel for receiving a partition panel frame or a finishing strip; and wherein said post bracket is installed by sliding said post bracket down onto and over said plurality of variable-height posts; partition panel frames configured to be slidably inserted into said T-shaped channel running the full length of said each of the four sides of said square core of said post bracket, said partition panel frames being of a generally rectangular shape, and having a vertical side element with a horizontally-oriented T-shape, said horizontally-oriented T-shape corresponding to said T-shaped channel of said post bracket; said finishing strip configured to be installed into said T-shaped channel of said post bracket into which no partition panel frame is installed; a junction cap, said junction cap configured to be installed to any of the plurality of variously-configured frame connections to prevent the accumulation of water, debris or other detritus; a post bracket cap, fitted to said post bracket, for providing a physical support and functional connection at a top of said post bracket for said roofing components or said finial; said post bracket cap configured as a square, with a bore hole in a center top surface of said post bracket cap, said bore hole extending vertically through a body of said post bracket cap; said post bracket cap also having vertical bore holes in each corner of, and extending through the body of, said post bracket cap; said post bracket cap also having four smaller-diameter vertical bore holes arranged symmetrically around said vertical bore hole in said center top surface of said post bracket cap, said vertical smaller-diameter bore holes extending through the body of said post bracket cap; a bottom surface of said post bracket cap has channels corresponding to a shape of the top upwardly-projecting surface of said post bracket, with said channels in said bottom surface of said post bracket cap being of a depth sufficient to cover and envelop said top upwardly-projecting surface of said post bracket; and said finial having a variably-configurable upper body element and a downwardly-projecting threaded bolt element, said finial installed by screwing said threaded bolt element into said variable-height posts. |
