WAP-OZ Wood to Steel Fence Brackets are one of the fastest and most convenient ways to attach your wood fence panels to steel posts. Featuring "Fasten-Ready" technology, these brackets come with all of the hardware pre-inserted into the bracket, so that all you have to do is slide them over your steel post and tighten the 5/16" carriage bolts. Then you can attach your 2x4 wood rails by screwing in the 1/4" lag screws. Both the lag screws and carriage bolts have 1/2" hex heads so that you can use the same drill bit on both - WAP-OZ brackets were designed with speed of assembly in mind from the start.

These brackets are great for fence projects with lots of twists and turns or odd shaped areas because the handy tabs on the brackets let you easily bend them to whatever angle you need for your layout.

Each WAP-OZ Bracket comes (pre-assembled) with:

• 1 - Strap & Base
• 4 - 1/2" Hex Head Wood Screws
• 2 - 5/16" Carriage Bolts

You can order these brackets individually if you only need a few, or you can save a little bit of money on a project pack case of 50.

Why Choose This

• Save time — No parts counting; the bracket arrives assembled and ready to fasten
• Cleaner corners — Field-bend tabs dial in angles without extra brackets
• Lasting performance — Hot-dip galvanized steel for year-round outdoor service

Specifications

Installation

Slip the bracket over a 2-3/8″ steel post, align to rail height, and snug the pre-inserted carriage bolts with a 1/2″ driver. Position the 2×4 rail and drive the pre-inserted lag screws. Bend the tabs as needed to achieve 90°, 45°, or custom angles. Verify plumb/line and repeat at each rail. Always build into sound posts and lumber and follow local code.

Buying Guide

• Count by rails: Brackets per post = number of rails (e.g., 2-rail fence uses two per post; 3-rail uses three).
• Project scale: For full runs, select the Case of 50 option (Item 50130) from the size/quantity selector on this page.
• Related options: Prefer lower upfront cost and don’t need pre-assembled hardware? Consider WAP-238 Steel-to-Wood Brackets (more economical; not Fasten-Ready). For new steel posts, pair with the OZ-Post IS-600 Steel Post Anchor or raise existing posts with an OZ-Fence Post Extender.

Frequently Asked Questions

What post and rail sizes does it fit?

It’s designed for 2-3/8″ O.D. round steel posts and standard 2×4 wood rails.

Do I need multiple driver sizes?

No. Both the lag screws and carriage bolts use 1/2″ hex heads.

Can I make corners and odd angles?

Yes. The bendable tabs allow 90°, 45°, and custom angles to align with your layout.

Is the hardware included?

Yes. Brackets ship with pre-inserted lag screws and carriage bolts; counts vary by single vs. case.

Comparison

• WAP-OZ Bracket (this item): Pre-assembled, one driver size, angle-friendly tabs for fast, tidy steel-post builds.
• WAP-238 Bracket: Similar function but not pre-assembled (separate hardware); more economical, slightly longer install time.
• U-bolt & loose hardware: Works, but requires separate parts, more layout time, and typically fewer angle options.
