A structural support apparatus comprises a connection bracket comprising, a generally flat, rigid member having opposing generally flat faces and a thickness extending between the flat faces. The rigid member is attachable to a support member. An arm extends from an end of the rigid member and a finger extends from the arm and is receivable in a hollow channel formed in an attachable member of rigid material. The hollow channel is complementary in configuration to at least one of the finger and the arm and a selected recess configuration is formed between the finger, the arm and the end of the rigid member. The recess accommodates one or more lip portions of the attachable member when either the arm or the finger, are received within the hollow channel.

1. A structural support apparatus comprising: a connection bracket comprising: a generally flat, rigid member having opposing generally flat faces and a thickness extending between the flat faces;an arm extending from an end of said rigid member; anda finger extending from the arm the finger having at least a portion at a non-zero angle of rotation with respect to a plane of the arm;an attachable member having a channel formed therein and being defined in part by lip portions defining an opening along a face of the attachable member;wherein the finger is receivable in the channel through the opening;wherein the channel, opening and lip portions are complementary in configuration to the finger and the arm and a recess defined by the finger, the arm and the end of the rigid member, the recess accommodating the one or more lip portions in the attachable member when the arm and the finger are received within the channel; andwherein the arm is angled with a non-zero angle relative to a plane of the rigid member. 2. The structural support apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a beam of rigid material,wherein the connection bracket is movable within the channel to position the beam with respect to the attachable member, andwherein in response to attachment of the connection bracket to the beam when the connection bracket is in the channel of the attachable member, the beam is rigidly attached to the attachable member by pressure of the lip portions of attachable member on arm and the finger of the connection bracket. 3. The structural support apparatus according to claim 2 wherein the beam comprises a solid body having top and bottom faces and a thickness extending between said top and bottom faces. 4. The structural support apparatus according to claim 3 wherein one of the opposing generally flat faces of the connection bracket is matable against, and attachable to, one or the other of the generally flat top and bottom faces of the beam while the arm and the finger of the bracket are received within the channel of the attachable member. 5. The structural support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the attachable member comprises at least one of, (a) metal, (b) wood, (c) plastic, (d) composite material and (e) glass fiber and the connection bracket comprises at least one of, (i) metal, (ii) plastic and (iii) composite material. 6. The structural support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the arm and the finger and the channel are configured such that the lip portions fit snugly within the recess. 7. The structural support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the arm extends longitudinally from the end of the rigid member and a pair of fingers extend in a flange configuration from an end of the arm, wherein the arm and the fingers form a generally T-shaped extension member and a pair of opposing recesses are formed between the pair of fingers and the arm and the end of the rigid member. 8. The structural support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the connection bracket includes one or more clips extending laterally in one direction from at least one of the generally flat faces of the connection bracket, the one or more clips having a sharp terminal edge. 9. The structural support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the channel in the attachable member has a generally rectangular shape and is formed extending along the face of the attachable member, the rectangular channel forming the lip portions along the attachable member to be receivable within the recess of the connection bracket. 10. The structural support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the channel of the attachable member comprises a generally T-shaped channel disposed within a thickness of the attachable member, wherein the generally T-shaped channel is complementary in configuration to the recess formed by the arm and the finger of the connection bracket. 11. The structural support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the finger of the connection bracket comprises a pair of fingers extending from the arm and in opposing directions from a plane of the arm, each finger having at least a portion at a non-zero angle of rotation with respect to a plane of the arm. 12. A kit for a structural support apparatus, comprising: a. a plurality of connection brackets, wherein each connection bracket comprises: a generally flat, rigid member having opposing generally flat faces and a thickness extending between the flat faces;an arm extending from an end of the rigid member; anda finger extending from the arm, the finger having at least a portion at a non-zero angle of rotation with respect to a plane of the arm;wherein the finger and the arm and the end of the rigid member, define a recess,wherein the arm, the finger and the recess form a first shape, andwherein the arm of at least one of the connection brackets is angled with a non-zero angle relative to a plane of the rigid member; andb. a machining tool for use in machining a channel in a material, the machining tool having a second shape to form the channel to have a complementary configuration to the first shape defined by the finger and the arm and the recess of one of the connection brackets. 13. The kit according to claim 12, wherein the finger, of at least one of the connection brackets, comprises a pair of fingers extending from the arm and in opposing directions from a plane of the arm, each finger having at least a portion at a non-zero angle of rotation with respect to a plane of the arm. 14. A connection bracket for a structural support apparatus, the structural support apparatus comprising an attachable member having a channel formed along a face of the attachable member, the connection bracket comprising: a generally flat, rigid member having opposing generally flat faces and a thickness extending between the flat faces;an arm extending from an end of the rigid member; anda pair of fingers extending from the arm and in opposing directions from a plane of the arm, each finger having at least a portion at a non-zero angle of rotation with respect to a plane of the arm;wherein the pair of fingers and the arm and the end of the rigid member, define a pair of recesses, and wherein the arm, the finger and the pair of recesses form a shape complementary in configuration to the channel in the attachable member, andwherein the arm of the connection bracket is angled with a non-zero angle relative to a plane of the rigid member. 15. The connection bracket according to claim 14 wherein the pair of fingers extend in a flange configuration from the end of the arm. 16. The connection bracket according to claim 14 further comprising one or more clips extending laterally in one direction from at least one of the generally flat faces of the bracket, said one or more clips having a sharp terminal edge. 17. The connection bracket according to claim 14, wherein the pair of fingers further comprise sharp edges configured at an end of the finger.
