Metal Pergola Insert Bracket designed for 2x6 wood slats with pre-drilled holes and black screws

Quiet strength, clean lines

A slim, black sleeve that lets 2x6 slats drop in from above, locking them flush between existing posts. The look is spare and architectural; the feeling is calm shade and ordered light.

Make space, simply

The bracket that draws a room in the open air

Inline made effortless

Pergolas often stall at the joinery—measuring, holding, fastening, all while fighting gravity. The Pergola Insert Bracket (for 2x6 Wood Slats) fixes the moment of hesitation: mount first, then slide the slat in from above. Its open-top design welcomes the board and keeps it flush with the posts, straight or angled as needed. What was fussy becomes a clean, repeatable rhythm.

From posts to a place

Angle shade purlins between -45° and 45° to tune light over the table where mornings stretch and evenings linger. Pre‑drilled holes and included #10 stainless screws turn each connection into a sure decision. Premium 14‑gauge steel with a weather coating stands quietly in all seasons, so the structure fades and the gathering shows.

For the builder who hosts

Homeowners and pros shaping pergolas, privacy walls, or rail details with 2x6 lumber and a clean, inline look.

How it’s used

Secure the brackets to existing posts or beams, then drop a 2x6 slat into the open-top sleeve to create inline rafters, angled purlins, privacy walls, or side railings.
