         8 . The bracket of  claim 1 , comprising a tab protrusion, the tab protrusion includes an outward facing angle between a range of 90 degrees to 130 degrees extended from a front of the bracket. 
     
     
         9 . The bracket of  claim 1 , comprising an upward notch, the upward notch on a top surface of the bracket proximal to approximately a front one fourth of the bracket. 
     
     
         10 . The bracket of  claim 9 , wherein the upward notch includes a rear end that has a rounded surface approximately semi-circular and a front end including an opening extended upward from the rounded surface upward from the top surface of the bracket. 
     
     
         11 . The bracket of  claim 1 , wherein a rear portion of the bracket includes an rearward notch. 
     
     
         12 . The bracket of  claim 1 , comprising one or more receiving bracket tabs along a rear surface that are spaced apart and extended downward toward the bottom surface of the bracket. 
     
     
         13 . The bracket of  claim 12 , wherein the one or more receiving bracket tabs mate, couple, or connect with at least one set of slots on the vertical rail. 
     
     
         14 . The bracket of  claim 13 , wherein each of the at least one set of slots having two sub-slots that are connected off-center of a mid-axis of the at least one set of slots of the plurality of vertical uprights that attaches to the one or more receiving bracket tabs. 
     
     
         15 . A ventilated support structure that couples to a vertical rail of a top rail and vertical rail system, the ventilated support structure comprising:
 a bracket having one or more receiving bracket apertures that includes an indented backward facing slot positioned on a bottom surface of the one or more receiving bracket apertures; and   at least one hanger element that includes a load bearing, concave shaped flange attached to the one or more receiving bracket apertures and a trailing concave shaped, curved hanging structure extended from the load bearing, concave shaped flange.   
     
     
         16 . The ventilated support structure of  claim 15 , wherein a rear of the bracket proximal to a center of the rear includes one or more protrusions that abuts and/or couples to the vertical rail along a rear side; and
 wherein the outward protrusion stabilizes up and down movement of the bracket under load conditions against the vertical rail along a rear side of the bracket.   
     
     
         17 . The ventilated support structure of  claim 16 , comprising one or more receiving bracket tabs along a rear surface that are spaced apart and extended downward toward the bottom surface of the bracket;
 wherein the receiving bracket tabs mate, couple, or connect with at least one set of slots on the vertical rail.   
     
     
         18 . The bracket of  claim 17 , wherein each of the at least one set of slots having two sub-slots that are connected off-center of a mid-axis of the at least one set of slots of the plurality of vertical uprights that attaches to the one or more receiving bracket tabs. 
     
     
         19 . The bracket of  claim 18 ,
 wherein the indented backward facing slot includes a diagonal slanted body slot coupled to a reverse hook facing slot; and   wherein at least one of the diagonal slanted body slot includes an angle between 20 to 45 degrees from vertical and the reverse hook facing slot includes an angle between 45 to 65 degrees from vertical.   
     
     
         20 . A bracket that couples to a vertical rail of a top rail and vertical rail system, the bracket structure comprising:
