Steel pergola roof rafter bracket for 2x4 wood slats by Zen Pergolas

Quiet structure, open sky

A crisp, black bracket that lets simple 2x4 slats line up clean and true—so shade falls in measured stripes across the table.

Built for gathering

The calm above the beams

Minimal form, exact intent

Pergola projects stall when small details fight you—misaligned rafters, improvised fasteners, and uneven overhangs. The Pergola Roof Rafter Bracket (for 2x4 Wood Slats) brings order: pre-drilled, measured, and ready so each slat sets square. Stainless steel #10 screws are included, and the 14‑gauge steel body with weather coating feels certain in the hand.

Shade that lands just so

When the grid is right, the space beneath settles—meals stretch, tools stay out, conversation lingers. These brackets make a traditional second layer effortless on freestanding or attached builds, with clean 6–12 inch overhangs if you choose. Backed by a 5‑year warranty and shipped from Boise, Idaho, they turn intention into a place you’ll return to.

For the hands-on host

Homeowners and builders shaping a pergola with precise 2x4 slat rafters and a restrained, modern look.

How it works outside

Secure the bracket to your pergola beam, slide in a 2x4 slat, and fasten through the pre-drilled holes to continue the roof layer in an even rhythm.
