Product Information

Full details

The GeZu Impex 3-way right angle corner connector is an essential hardware solution for DIY enthusiasts and builders looking to create sturdy outdoor wooden structures such as pergolas, pavilions, and shelters. Specifically designed to join three 90 x 90 mm wooden posts at a 90-degree intersection, these brackets provide excellent structural integrity and weather resistance thanks to their hot-dip galvanised steel construction; however, users should note that they are strictly sized for 90 x 90 mm lumber and are not compatible with smaller or larger post dimensions without modification.

FAQs

Can these be used for indoor projects?

Yes, although they are designed for outdoor use due to the galvanised finish, they perform perfectly well for indoor heavy-timber furniture or framing.

Are the mounting screws included?

No, this set includes 4 connectors only. You will need to purchase appropriate 10 mm bolts or screws separately based on your specific project needs.

Can I paint these brackets?

Yes, you can paint them using a metal-specific primer and outdoor-rated paint, though it is best to let the galvanised steel weather slightly for better adhesion.

Are these brackets suitable for high-wind areas?

While they provide strong support, high-wind areas may require additional bracing and structural engineering consultation beyond the use of these connectors.

What happens if the wood shrinks?

As timber dries, it may shrink away from the bracket. It is recommended to perform a maintenance check after the first season to tighten any loose fasteners.

Troubleshooting

The wooden post is too thick for the connector.

Ensure the post is exactly 90 x 90 mm. If the post is rough-sawn, you may need to plane or sand the edges slightly to fit the bracket.

The structure feels unstable after assembly.

Check that all fasteners are tightened securely and verify that the posts are fully seated against the internal stop of the bracket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade hot-dip galvanised steel offers long-lasting corrosion resistance.
  • Streamlined installation process with pre-drilled holes.
  • Provides significant structural rigidity for heavy-duty outdoor projects.
  • Sold in a 4-pack, making it cost-effective for standard structure builds.

Cons

  • Limited exclusively to 90 x 90 mm wooden posts.
  • May require additional structural bracing for very large or heavy roof loads.
  • Requires professional-grade fasteners which are not included in the set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your 90 x 90 mm timber is dry and planed to size before attempting to slide them into the brackets. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the connector onto the post if the fit is tight.

Compatibility

  • Post Size: 90 x 90 mm square timber.
  • Fasteners: 10 mm diameter bolts or heavy-duty lag screws recommended.

Care

  • Periodically inspect the connections after extreme weather events to ensure that wood shrinkage hasn't loosened the bolts.
  • If the galvanised coating is scratched during installation, apply a cold-galvanising spray paint to prevent localized rust.
