A connector for a structural apparatus. The connector includes a pair of oppositely disposed C-shaped connectors which are adapted to surround a post and are detachably connected to one another. The connectors include a first movable position allowing movement of the connectors relative to each other as well as to the post. In a second fixed position where the connectors are secured to the post. Each C-shaped connector has complementary interfitting end elements for assembling the pair of C-shaped connectors together to surround the post. The C-shaped connectors are secured to each other by complementary fastening elements that extend in the same direction as and cooperate with the complementary interfitting elements. The complementary interfitting elements or connections are provided on a transversely extending end surface at opposite ends of each C-shaped connector for assembling the C-shaped connectors to each other. The complementary fastening elements extend through adjacent end surfaces of the C-shaped connectors for securing the same to each other. Each C-shaped connector further includes an independent fastening element for securing each C-shaped connector to the post. A component receiver is mounted on one of the C-shaped connectors and is constructed to facilitate assembly to one C-shaped connector as well as to an elongated cylindrical bar.
