VEVOR 3-Way Slanted Pergola Bracket Kit for 3.5x3.5 in Posts, 8-Pc Black Carbon Steel with Post Bases

VEVOR's 3-way slanted pergola bracket kit secures 3.5 x 3.5 inch wood posts to form a sloped-roof pergola with durable carbon steel brackets, stainless expansion bolts, and post bases for long-lasting outdoor framing.

If you're building or repairing a sloped-top pergola, gazebo, shed overhang, or other outdoor framed structure, this VEVOR kit provides the metal connectors and anchors sized for standard 3.5 x 3.5 inch wood posts (actual 92 x 92 mm). The set includes eight heavy-duty 3-way brackets and matching post bases, plus 304 stainless steel expansion bolts that reach 60 mm deep for stronger anchoring in concrete or masonry. Every steel part is finished with a black powder coat designed to resist corrosion and keep connections rigid under wind and weather.

How does the bracket fit 3.5 x 3.5 inch wood posts?

Each bracket is formed to accept posts that measure 3.5 x 3.5 inches (actual size 92 x 92 mm), the common finished dimension for dimensional lumber. The design accommodates both softwood and hardwood posts while aligning three members to create a slanted, pitched roof structure.

• Internal pocket sized for 92 x 92 mm posts for a snug fit.
• Three-sided connector aligns beam angles for sloped roofs.
• Pre-drilled holes for fast and repeatable bolt placement.

What hardware comes with the kit and how secure is it?

The kit bundles corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel expansion bolts extended to 2.36 inches (60 mm), which are longer than many standard anchors to reach deeper into substrate for improved pullout resistance. That makes the assembly more resilient to uplift, heavy winds, and daily outdoor loads when installed correctly.

• Eight 3-way carbon steel pergola brackets and matching post bases included.
• 304 stainless expansion bolts (60 mm) for secure anchoring in concrete/masonry.
• Black powder-coat finish to reduce corrosion where metal meets weather.

How durable are the brackets and what weather protection do they offer?

Brackets are stamped from 2 mm carbon steel and given a black powder coat to resist rust, cracking, and bending under load. The thicker steel and protective finish are intended for outdoor exposures and regular seasonal cycles, helping maintain structural integrity over time.

• 2 mm carbon steel resists deformation under typical pergola loads.
• Black powder coating for improved corrosion resistance outdoors.
• Design minimizes direct wood-metal contact to limit concentrated weathering of posts.

Can I use this kit for DIY projects like gazebos or sheds?

Yes — the 3-way bracket and post base format is adaptable to many small outdoor structures that use 3.5 x 3.5 in posts and require angled or sloped joints. It simplifies repetitive joints and speeds up alignment for builders working alone or in small teams.

• Good for pergolas, small gazebos, lean-tos, and covered walkways.
• Pre-drilled connectors save time compared with custom metalwork.
• Works with both softwoods and hardwoods; verify local codes for structural requirements.

Who is this for: This VEVOR pergola bracket kit is aimed at homeowners, carpenters, and do-it-yourself builders who need a ready-made hardware solution for sloped pergola roofs and similar outdoor framing. It suits anyone working with standard 3.5 x 3.5 inch posts who wants stronger anchoring with stainless expansion bolts and corrosion-resistant, powder-coated steel brackets for longer outdoor life. Professionals should still follow local building codes and use this hardware within engineered designs for larger spans or critical load-bearing structures.
