Pergola Post Base Bracket for 6x6 wood posts made from steel with black powder coating

Grounded beginnings

A quiet, square foundation in matte black—ready to meet wood and weather with calm resolve.

At the foot of the pergola

Where gatherings take root

Square, simple, decisive

Pergolas fail when their first move—the footing—feels uncertain. The Pergola Post Base Bracket (for 6x6 Wood Posts) anchors the moment you set it down, with pre‑drilled paths that remove guesswork and stainless steel screws included for the wood-to-bracket connection. Its 12‑gauge steel and advanced weather coating bring a reassuring stillness to changing seasons.

Strength you can live with

You can plan shade, seating, and string lights only after you trust the base. This bracket sizes precisely for dressed 6x6 posts, fastening cleanly to a slab, footing, deck, or topper so the structure above becomes the focus. When the foundation works this smoothly, building feels less like a project and more like setting the table.

For the builder of lived‑in spaces

Homeowners and makers shaping a long‑term outdoor room around true 6x6 posts.

How it’s used

Set the bracket on your solid base, anchor through the four bottom-plate holes with your hardware, slide in the 6x6 post, and secure through the side holes with the included #10 wood screws.
