A connector having a horizontal channel member and a vertical channel member connected to the horizontal channel member. The vertical member has a lengthwise hole formed therein for receiving a screw. The vertical channel member is connected at a midpoint of the horizontal channel member such that the vertical channel member and the horizontal channel member form a T-shape protrusion. The vertical and the horizontal channel member are attached to a backplate which circumscribes the members. The connector is inserting into a T-shaped channel in a perimeter edge of a second sheet of composite material. A hole formed in a first sheet is positioned over the hole in the connector and a screw is driven into both holes firmly attaching the first sheet to the second sheet.
