A structural joint and method of assembly are provided. The joint includes a first member having an inner base portion and a first leg portion, and a second member having an inner base and a second leg portion. The inner base portions of the first and second members overlap and are coupled together. The leg portions form a cavity for structurally coupling to a structural member. The first and second members are configured so that the inner base portion of the first member separates the second member from the skin. The inner base portion of the first member extends underneath the inner base portion of the second member. The members may be "L" shaped, or the second member may include an outer base portion, in which case the inner base portion of the first member extends underneath the outer base portion of the second member as well.
