A system for boarding up a store front window, and more specifically a corner bracket for use in removably supporting a panel respective an opening formed by a store front frame having corners. The panel temporarily closes the opening while avoiding damage to the frame, and preventing intrusion through the store front frame. The corner bracket has spaced parallel flanges connected by perpendicular load bearing wall members. One bracket is received at each corner of the store front frame and the load bearing wall members bear against adjacent frame members that form a corner. One of the flanges engage an interior surface of the frame while the opposed flange is attached to the panel. This causes the corner bracket to urge the panel against the exterior wall surface of the frame. The panel can be of an area greater than the area defined by the inner periphery of the frame to bring the marginal edge of the panel into engagement with the exterior frame face. Hence the spaced parallel flanges places the perpendicular load bearing wall members in tension and resists both later and outward movement of the temporary panel away from the frame. Additionally, this arrangement hides the corner brackets from outside view and therefore nothing is revealed exteriorly of the enclosure that would enable a pedestrian to determine the details of the construction.
