Pergola Roof Rafter Bracket (for 6x6 Wood Posts)

Built for open-air moments

A quiet, black steel bracket that turns beams into a roofline—clean, squared, and certain.

Over the beams

Rafters that frame the sky

Simple strength, considered

Piecing together a pergola roof can stall a weekend and test patience. The Pergola Roof Rafter Bracket (for 6x6 Wood Posts) brings the rafters into alignment and holds them where they should live—right on top of the beams. Pre-drilled holes and included #10 stainless steel screws make the connection straightforward, so the overhangs fall into place and the structure reads as one.

From parts to a place

Outdoor rooms are made in the details: square corners, true lines, a roof that feels intentional. These 12‑gauge steel brackets create that calm order, whether the pergola stands alone in the yard or ties back to the house. With a weather-ready finish and a form that disappears into the shadow line, they let gatherings take center stage—coffee at first light, dinners that linger.

For the patio you actually use

Homeowners shaping a freestanding or attached pergola from 6x6 dressed lumber and wanting a crisp, durable roof layer without fuss.

How it lives

Seat each bracket on the beam, slide in the rafter for 6x6 posts, and fasten through the pre-drilled holes to set a clean upper layer with optional 6–12 inch overhangs.
