Abstract
A post coupler having a first body portion and a second body portion. Each body portion having an inner edge, an outer edge, a reverse flange, and at least one post alignment tab.

A method of using the post coupler comprises the steps of a) providing a first post section and a second post section, b) inserting the first post section along the post receiving slots until the first notch interacts with the tab, and c) inserting the second post section along the post receiving slots until the second notch interacts with the tab.
