Product Description
Ironwood Post-to-Beam Brackets by OZCO® OWT — 4″, 6″ & 8″ Sizes (2-Pack)
- “Ledge” Makes It Easier — Unique two-piece design with a built-in ledge lets you rest the beam while you fasten for safer, faster installs
- Adjusts to Your Lumber — Top cover interlocks with the ledge and adjusts for ~1.45″–2.00″ beam thickness (nominal & rough-cut)
- Outdoor-Tough — Heavy 3/16″ pre-galvanized steel with black exterior-grade powder coat; ACQ-approved

- Versatile Applications — Pergolas, pavilions, porch covers, and decorative fence structures
OZCO’s Ironwood Post-to-Beam Brackets deliver the strength you need and the hardware-forward look clients ask for. The patented ledge supports the beam as you position and fasten, acting like a second set of hands—especially useful with long spans overhead. Each kit includes two complete assemblies and matching OWT fasteners, and the interlocking top cover adjusts to different beam thicknesses for a snug, rattle-free connection on smooth or rough-sawn lumber.
Why Choose This
- Faster layout & set — Rest the beam on the ledge, align, and secure
- Stronger connection — 3/16″ steel, wrap geometry, and through-fastening
- Cohesive style — Coordinates with the complete Ironwood OWT line

Always fasten into sound lumber, follow local codes, and use adequate temporary support for overhead members.
