The cornerpieces have an inner and an outer surface with a plastic material of high coefficient of friction located at least partially over the inner surface, each corner piece being located, in use, with its outer surface adjacent a corner connection between adjacent framing members and its inner surface with the material high coefficient of friction thereon adapted, in use, to engage the object to be mounted. A corner cover connecting to adjacent framing members to cover the join and any exposed connecting piece. The framing member and connecting piece are slidable relative to each other so as to form a frame of desired shape and configuration. The system further comprises at least one cable extending through the slots in the framing members so as to hold the framing members and connecting members securely and firmly relative to each other when the cable is placed in tension.
