ABSTRACT:
A post and beam construction includes opaque cover members that hide from view fastening members and other utilitarian structural features of the construction for aesthetic purposes. An upper bracket is slideably received in each post at its upper end and a lower bracket is slideably received in each post at its lower end. Each bracket has screw-receiving members formed in it and each post has screw-receiving openings pre-drilled into it in registration with the screw-receiving members to facilitate assembly. The upper bracket slidingly engages a bottom wall of the beam and therefor may be placed at any location along the length of the beam. Self-tapping screws are used to lock the upper bracket and hence the post into a preselected position.
