Build your own rugged and heavy duty PostHugger™ Pergola, Double Pergola, shop/garage/CNC table, deck or even a wedding arch chuppah with our USA made 1/8" steel Outside Corner brackets and more! 

Also great for fixing/reinforcing the one you already have! These are not flimsy/bendable metal. We make them using 1/8" thick steel - a single corner bracket weighs just over 2 pounds - - strong enough to take what you throw at it, but not so heavy where they are hard to work with.

These brackets are sold individually and are FOR USE WITH 4 x 4 POSTS AND BEAMS (3.5” x 3.5”).  If you want the same thing, but for 6 x 6 Posts and Beams, click here https://www.ebay.com/itm/303622263446  NOTE: All our brackets are based on the dimensional size of the lumber but we can make them actual 4"x4" or 6"x6" for you, if needed. Just let us know your ship-to-zip code, the number of brackets and actual size(s) you would like, and we can let you know the total cost for custom brackets made to fit your saw-mill-cut posts.

We get a lot of questions about how to build a double pergola (one with six legs) like you may have seen in one of our photos - they use the following:

     4 Outside Corners
     2 Flat T's
     8 Bent L Inside Corners
     6 Full Post Bases (or 6 of our Two-Piece Post Bases)

Our brackets can be installed using any 1/2" wood lag screws or 1/2" thru bolts. If you use lag screws, we recommend at least 1/2" x 2" length.  Bolts/lag screws are not included with our brackets; you can pick them up at your local Home Depot/Menard's/Lowe's/Ace Hardware store.

Our Individual PostHugger Brackets Product Line includes:

Outside Corners- Used on outside corners to join/attach two incoming horizontal posts on top of an upright/vertical post.  The holes line up with Bent L's if you want to use them on the inside.


Bent L’s - Used as an inside corner, either alone or in conjunction with an Outside Corner to make a steel/post/steel sandwich for aesthetics and/or additional strength.  The holes also line up with our Flat T's.


Flat T Brackets - Used to join/attach two incoming horizontal posts which are resting on top of an upright/vertical post.  The holes line up with the Bent L's in case you want to use them in making an inside corner on the opposite side of your Flat T.


Double Inside Corners- The bottom part of this bracket attaches to the inside corner of an upright post, which then allows each ear on the top part of the bracket to go under horizontal posts coming in from the left and right sides.  The holes are offset so that if used on the same post as an Outside Corner, they will not collide.


Flat L’s - Used to join other parts of your design.


Two Piece Post Base - Used to bolt a post to concrete or other suitable surface.  If your post is going up against a wall or other flat surface which would interfere with having four feet, you will want to use either our Half-a-Post-Base, our 3-Sided Post Base (which has three feet) or our Full Post Base (which has just two feet) so that your post can be closer to a wall.


Half a Post Base - This bracket is just one half of the Two Piece Post Base, for those who only need one (or another odd number).


Three-Sided Post Base - Similar to our other Post Bases, but with three sides/feet.


Full Post Base - Similar to our other Post Bases but with fours sides and just two feet (on opposite sides). 


Legless T™ - This bracket is the same dimensions & placement of bolt holes as the “T” - just without the bottom “leg” of the “T”! It measures 5.5" x 16.5" for a 6x6 post, and 3.5" x 10.25" for a 4x4 Post.

Flat X™ Bracket - 90 degree cross angle brackets to provide extra, heavy duty support to new or existing DIY builds & structures.


Flat Knee™ - This knee brace bracket sits flush against the outside of a knee joint.


Bent Knee™ - This knee brace bracket is for use where you have a post coming in to meet another post at a 45° angle and want a bracket in the knee bend itself.

Please note that unless you choose the powder coated option, these ship as raw, unpainted steel. You can either paint them the color of your choice, finish them with a clear coat, or allow to achieve a natural rust patina over time.

***Powder Coated Brackets: If ordering brackets in the black powder coat, please allow an additional 1-2 days for shipping & delivery.***

WHY BUY POSTHUGGER?

           We are the original designer of these brackets, often copied by others but never equaled!

           We use 1/8″ steel which is thicker than a Quarter and a Dime stacked on top of each other. 

           Unlike others who just cut and ship steel right off their table, we take the time to hand debur and wire brush both the inside and outside of every piece. 

           All powder coating is done in-house to ensure a quality application on each and every piece.

           We use only 100% first-rate, high quality powders, which are all made in America.

           We develop all designs ourselves and, unlike some, never poach the intellectual property of others.

           We proudly stand behind all our products.

           All our PostHugger Brackets & metal artwork products are Made in America with American-Made Steel!
