Buying Guide

Match bracket type to beam layout

Choose 3-way, 4-way, or 5-way brackets based on whether your design uses corners, T-junctions, or multi-beam intersections to ensure structural alignment

Prefer powder-coated or carbon steel

Powder-coated and carbon-steel brackets resist rust better outdoors than untreated metal, extending the life of your pergola hardware

Check compatibility with 4x4 beams

All featured kits are designed for 4x4 wood posts—confirm beam dimensions and that the bracket profile fits your lumber before purchasing

Consider included hardware and shoulders

Some kits include extra bracket shoulders or mounting hardware; these reduce trips to the hardware store and simplify installation

Factor in finish and color

Black powder-coat and other finishes affect aesthetics and UV/weather performance—select a finish that matches your outdoor design and maintenance preferences
