Abstract
A structural connector system for the assembly of structural panel buildings is provided. The system is adapted for use in association with structural panels including roof and wall panels. The system comprises a pair of adjustable roof ridge structural connectors each having a generally U-shaped side with flat faces receiving adjacent ends of roof panels and with arched adjustable components therebetween. An adjustable eave structural connector is positioned between the upper edges of wall panels and roof panels adjacent to the periphery. The eave structural connectors have generally U-shaped sides with flat faces receiving wall panels adjacent their upper edges and with regions coupled to a roof panel with adjustment components therebetween. The base structural connectors have generally U-shaped sides with flat faces receiving opposed exterior faces of wall panels adjacent to their lower ends. Remote components are fixably positionable with respect to the base. Opening structural connectors for windows and doors are also included. They are formed with a generally U-shaped side with flat faces receiving opposed exterior faces of wall panels at the receiving wall window and door ap…
