A tube construction set. The tube construction set includes a set of tubes. Each tube includes a wall, where the wall is the body of the tube, a first end and a second end, where the second end is opposite the first end. Each tube also includes four holes near the first end of tube and four holes near the second end of the tube. The tube construction set also includes a set of connectors. Each connector is configured to attach two or more tubes to one another and includes a first port, where the first port is configured to receive a first tube a second port, where the second port is configured to receive a second tube. Each connector also includes a first hole near the first port and a second hole near the second port.

An extension support member includes a bracket or web having a first planar portion or leg, a second planar portion or leg, an acute, concave angle between the first planar portion or leg and the second planar portion or leg, and a bend or backbone joining the first planar portion or leg to the second planar portion or leg. The extension support member also includes is a first mounting portion or tab joined to the second planar portion or leg via the bend or backbone at a first, convex obtuse angle and a second mounting portion or tab joined to the first planar portion or leg via the bend or backbone at a second obtuse, convex angle. The first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are located at opposite ends of the bracket or web.

A beam clamp for securing strut to a beam includes a clamp body having a first strut engagement portion configured for engaging a first attachment structure of a strut, and a second strut engagement portion separate from the first strut engagement portion and configured for engaging a second attachment structure of a strut.

An insulation system for portable buildings preferably includes a plurality of support struts, a plurality of cross tube clamps and a ceiling sheet. The support strut is preferably a tube having a length, which is substantially equal to a distance between two adjacent rafters. Three support struts are attached to bottom support tubes of two adjacent rafters with two cross tube clamps. The three support struts may also be attached to vertical support tubes of two adjacent rafters with two in-line cross tube clamps. Opposing edges of the ceiling sheet are attached to the bottom support tubes or the vertical support tubes of the two adjacent rafters with at least two sheet clamps. An insulation retention member is placed adjacent a top of the ceiling sheet to prevent insulation from sliding down the ceiling sheet. Two adjacent insulation retention members may be secured to each other with a joining device.

A connection and a method of making a connection between an outer member and one or more inner structural members of a structure such as a building, the connection having a compression strut having an inner portion and an outer portion, the inner portion being supported by one of the one or more inner structural members, the outer portion being in contact with the outer member, a connector plate engaging the compression strut and the outer member and one or more tension fasteners attaching the connector plate to one or more of the one or more inner structural members.

An end bracket for a wall system includes a body member having attachment structure to join a horizontal strut to a vertical strut. The end bracket further includes attachment structure in which the horizontal strut is slidably attached for moving and positioning the horizontal strut relative to the vertical strut in forming the wall system.
