A coupler system for connecting elongate, horizontally disposed rods to vertical supports includes a top-cap component for attaching to the top of a vertical support and a ball-cap component for attaching to an end of a rod. The top-cap component includes a body formed with plural cavities, and the ball-cap component includes a ball region that is constructed to fit within one of the plural cavities. The body may be formed with four plural cavities, with each defined by beveled edges. The ball-cap components may include a ball region, a neck region, and an angled region located adjacent the neck region and away from the ball region. The top-cap and ball-cap components may also include insertion regions with opposing sets of ribs. The coupler system may further include a cover component.
