Angle made simple

A quiet, black steel silhouette that tucks 2x4 slats into a clean 45° rhythm across your pergola roof.

Shaping shade

Order in the corner

Purposeful geometry

Corner pergolas and irregular spans often stall at the roof: how to seat diagonal 2x4s neatly between perpendicular beams. The Pergola Roof Rafter 45° Angle Bracket (for 2x4 Wood Slats) creates a clear path—precise, repeatable, and already drilled. Its 14‑gauge steel body and weather coating bring quiet confidence to the build. Included #10 stainless screws mean you can move from layout to structure without hunting parts.

Crisp lines, faster builds

Shade isn’t only about coverage; it’s the pattern above the table where people linger. These brackets set each slat at a dependable 45°, so the roof reads as one considered plane from every seat. Less time measuring, more time enjoying the way afternoon light moves through the grid.

For the determined builder

Homeowners or builders shaping triangle or irregular pergolas who want a clean diagonal slat layout using standard 2x4 lumber.

Where it works

Mount between two perpendicular pergola beams to hold a 2x4 slat at a fixed 45° angle across the span.
