Usage

Insert brackets are used to insert wood slats (i.e. a 2x6) in between 2 existing wood posts such that the 2x6s 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 2x6 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 2x6 slats at any angle you choose between -45 degrees and 45 degrees.

These angle braces were really heavy duty - much more-so than I expected. Also, the braces arrived very quickly. Great service

4x4 mount brackets very well made and finished
I would highly recommend this product.
The one suggestion I have to make them superior change the screws from Phillips to torx

This kit is perfect for building a pergola type structure. All the joints are tight and straight. On shipment the box containing the rafter supports broke open in the ups truck and scattered all over the truck. I had to refuse shipment on that box. Customer service contacted me and had a replacement box shipped with in a day that they were notified of the problem. Recommend both the product as well as their customer service.
