A four-sided enclosed vertical support comprising:
- a first vertical support member including a first vertical section, a second vertical section, and a third vertical section;
- a second vertical support member connected to the first vertical support member, the second vertical support member including a first vertical section, a second vertical section, and a third vertical section;
- an enclosed interior space inside of four sides of the four-sided enclosed vertical support, wherein each of the four sides partially defines the enclosed interior space, wherein a first side of the four sides is defined by the first vertical section of the first vertical support member and the first vertical section of the second vertical support member, wherein a second side of the four sides is defined by the second vertical section of the first vertical support member, wherein a third side of the four sides is defined by the third vertical section of the first vertical support member and the third vertical section of the second vertical support member, and wherein a fourth side of the four sides is defined by the second vertical section of the second vertical support member;
- a first bracket member extending from the second vertical section of the first vertical support member into the enclosed interior space and partially defining a first longitudinal reinforcement slot;
- a second bracket member extending from the second vertical section of the first vertical support member into the enclosed interior space and partially defining a second longitudinal reinforcement slot;
- a first longitudinal reinforcement plate slidably disposed within the first longitudinal reinforcement slot and the second longitudinal reinforcement slot;
- and
- a first longitudinal connector connecting the first vertical support member to the second vertical support member, wherein the first longitudinal connector includes a first connector portion, a second connector portion, a third connector portion, and a fourth connector portion;
- wherein the first vertical section of the first vertical support member includes a receiver portion extending inwardly toward the third vertical section of the first vertical support member,
- wherein the first vertical section of the second vertical support member includes a receiver portion extending inwardly toward the third vertical section of the second vertical support member,
- wherein the receiver portion of the first vertical section of the first vertical support member and the receiver portion of the first vertical section of the second vertical support member directly contact each other and together define a first vertical slot for receiving a first panel component,
- wherein the receiver portion of the first vertical section of the first vertical support member includes a first internal connector recipient housing extending inwardly from the first vertical slot toward the third vertical section of the first vertical support member and receiving the first and second connector portions of the first longitudinal connector,
- wherein the receiver portion of the first vertical section of the second vertical support member includes a second internal connector recipient housing extending inwardly from the first vertical slot toward the third vertical section of the second vertical support member and receiving the third and fourth connector portions of the first longitudinal connector.
