Usage

Insert brackets are used to insert wood slats (i.e. a 2x4) in between 2 existing wood posts such that the 2x4s are inline and "flush" with the posts. These brackets are extremely versatile and can be used in all of the following ways:

The brackets are open at the "top" (at whatever angle you choose to orient them) so the 2x4 wood slat can be inserted "from above" after you've secured the brackets to the existing posts. Thanks to the unique design of these insert brackets, you can orient the 2x4 slats at any angle you choose between -45 degrees and 45 degrees.

What's Not Included?

Wood. Wood is a) very expensive to ship and b) readily available to most people at local home improvement and building supply stores. By buying your wood locally, you also have more options on the exact type of wood you'd like that is appropriate for your area's climate.

Anchoring Hardware. While this pergola kit does include stainless steel wood screws for securing 4x4" wood posts into the brackets, it does not include anchoring hardware for securing the base brackets into a secure base (i.e. cement pad, deck, landscape toppers, concrete footing, etc.) or into your home/other structure. This is because the anchoring hardware you need will vary based on a) what type of material you're going into and b) local building codes.

Save by Buying a Full Pergola Kit

Save time and money by purchasing a full free-standing pergola kit or attached pergola kit instead of individual brackets.

After adding a pergola kit to your cart, you'll also be shown several add-on kits for roofs/rafters, privacy walls, side railings & more.

patio project

Happy with the product. Took 3 people and an 8' ladder to put up the pergola. Two old ladies and a young pup. Recommend corner supports for stability.

Support really went above and beyond

Before buying, support was really helpful with guidance and recommendations for my project.

Unfortunately during shipping my kit suffered damages. When i reached back to support they really went the extra mile to make sure I was covered and offered many alternatives to fix the issue.

I'd buy from them again 10/10 times
