FAQs

Can I use these brackets for 75 x 75 mm posts?

No, these brackets are precision-engineered for 70 x 70 mm posts. A 75 mm post will not fit into the 71 mm opening.

Are the screws included with the connector?

No, fasteners are not included. You should purchase 10 mm diameter structural screws appropriate for your specific timber type.

Is this bracket suitable for coastal environments?

The powder-coated finish provides excellent weather resistance, but in high-salt coastal environments, additional protective clear-coating may extend the bracket's lifespan.

Can this be used for indoor projects?

Yes, although it is designed for outdoor pavilions and gazebos, it is perfectly safe and functional for indoor wooden structures like bunk beds or heavy shelving.

What is the weight of a single connector?

Each connector weighs 1.19 kg, reflecting its heavy-duty steel construction.

Does the bracket come in other colors?

Yes, GeZu Impex offers variants in Black and Silver finishes.

Troubleshooting

The wooden post is too tight to fit into the bracket.

Verify that your timber measures exactly 70 x 70 mm. Use a plane or sandpaper to slightly shave down the edges of the timber if it has swollen due to moisture.

The bracket feels loose on the post.

Ensure you are using the correct 70 x 70 mm timber. If the timber is undersized, use timber shims to achieve a tight fit before fastening.

Surface rust appearing on the bracket.

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a high-quality outdoor-rated metal primer and grey touch-up paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality weather-resistant powder coating
  • Simplifies complex 3-way corner joinery
  • Sturdy steel construction ensures structural stability
  • Pre-drilled holes reduce installation time

Cons

  • Limited to 70 x 70 mm post dimensions
  • Does not include mounting hardware (screws)
  • Grey finish may not match all timber types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the connector, slide the three timber posts into the designated slots of the bracket. Use the pre-drilled 10 mm holes to mark your pilot holes on the wood to prevent splitting. Secure each post using heavy-duty structural screws. Ensure that your timber is treated for outdoor use to match the longevity of the powder-coated steel. For maintenance, periodically inspect the connections after extreme weather events, such as heavy snow or high winds, to ensure that no structural shifting has occurred. Periodically check that fasteners remain tight and touch up any scratches in the powder coating with outdoor-rated paint to prevent surface oxidation.
