Pergola Base Bracket for 4x4 wood posts secured to a base

Grounded beginnings

A clean black base that squares the first move, turning raw lumber into a gathering place.

Start at the foot

Where the pergola meets the patio

Quiet geometry, strong intent

Pergola projects stall at the question of how to meet the ground—neatly, securely, and in a straight line. The Pergola Base Bracket (for 4x4 Wood Posts) answers with a square, low-profile base and pre‑drilled paths that keep posts true. Its 14‑gauge steel build and weather coating bring calm to exposed corners and busy weekends.

From layout to long afternoons

When posts stand plumb, beams follow, shade lands where it should, and dinners stretch a little longer. The bracket’s fit for dressed 4x4s (3.5 x 3.5 inches) means less guesswork and cleaner edges at ground level. Fewer steps, fewer tools on the deck, and a structure that feels considered from the first bolt.

For the hands-on host

Homeowners shaping a freestanding or wall‑mounted pergola on concrete, footings, a deck, or a landscape topper who want tidy bases and straightforward assembly.

How it’s used

Set the bracket on your secure base, anchor through the four corner holes, slide in the 4x4 post, and fasten with the included #10 stainless screws.
