1. A slide clip comprising:
(a) a first plate; and
(b) a second plate comprising an upper edge and a lower edge, wherein the second plate is connected to the first plate at a juncture, wherein the second plate extends from the juncture to define an angle with the first plate;
wherein the first plate further comprises at least one elongated slot extending along a longitudinal axis thereof that is perpendicular to the juncture,
wherein the second plate further comprises:
(i) a first elongated slot comprising a first midpoint and extending along a first longitudinal axis substantially parallel with the juncture, wherein the first elongated slot is offset from the juncture a first distance,
(ii) a second elongated slot comprising a second midpoint and extending along a second longitudinal axis substantially parallel with the juncture, wherein the second elongated slot is offset from the juncture the first distance such that the second longitudinal axis and the first longitudinal axis are aligned with each other, and
(iii) a third elongated slot comprising a third midpoint and extending along a third longitudinal axis substantially parallel with the juncture, wherein the third elongated slot is offset from the juncture at a second distance, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance,
wherein the first midpoint of the first slot is closer to the upper edge of the second plate than the third midpoint of the third slot, and wherein the second midpoint of the second slot is closer to the lower edge of the second plate than the third midpoint of the third slot, wherein the third elongated slot is longer than the first elongated slot.
