The coupling assembly connects at least first and second members of a structure. The first member has at least a first end with an outer surface, and at least one attachment means is located on the first end of the first member. A collar has at least one attachment means for engaging the at least one attachment means on the first end of the first member, the collar being located on the outer surface of the first end of the first member. A cap surrounds at least the collar on the first end of the first member, the cap having a first end oriented toward the first end of the first member and a second end opposed from the first end. The cap has a lip on the second end, the lip being structured to engage the collar to thereby prevent removal of the cap off the first end. The cap has first connecting means at least on the first end of the cap. A base has a first end connected to the second member, and has a second end, opposed from the first end. The second end has second connecting means for engaging the first connecting means on the first end of the cap.
