Each of the fasteners can include a channel configured to receive an edge of a panel member, a coupling protrusion extending from an outer surface of the fastener, and an opening formed on another external surface of the fastener configured to be complementarily shaped to the coupling protrusion such that a coupling protrusion on another fastener can be received in the opening to secure two fasteners of the fastener assembly together.
