    Abstract: A loft connector joint employed in the construction of lofts includes a hub having a first end, a second end, an outer periphery, and an axial core oriented along a longitudinal axis extending from first end to the second end. The axial core is hollow and configured for slidable engagement with a post of a loft. A plurality of sockets are positioned about the outer periphery of the hub and facing outward from the center of the hub. Each of the sockets are configured for slidably receiving and retaining an edge of a panel of a loft. The second end of the hub has a plurality of ramps. A removable cap may be secured to the hub. The cap is bowl-shaped and has a domed top and an outer wall. A plurality of tabs extend from the underside of the cap, and the tabs are deflectable radially inward from the center of the cap.
