The Gezu Impex T-shape post connector is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional landscapers looking to create stable, three-way wooden post joints for structures like pergolas, canopies, and outdoor shelters. Its primary benefit is the structural integrity it provides for elevated 121x121 mm beam connections through a robust, weather-resistant steel design. Please note that while the connector simplifies assembly, it requires precise beam alignment to ensure the structural load is evenly distributed.

No, this connector is specifically engineered for 121x121 mm beams and will not provide a secure fit for different dimensions.
The connector features 10 mm diameter holes, so we recommend using 8 mm or 9 mm heavy-duty structural coach bolts or lag screws.
While the finish is weather-resistant, coastal environments with high salt content may accelerate corrosion. Regular inspection and touch-ups are recommended.
The number of connectors depends on your specific design. T-shape connectors are generally used for every T-junction point where a cross-beam meets a support post.
No, the package includes the T-shape connector bracket only; fasteners should be purchased separately to suit your specific timber thickness.
Check if your timber is exactly 121 x 121 mm. If the wood has swollen due to moisture, allow it to dry or lightly sand the edges of the timber for a proper fit.
Ensure that you are using bolts of the correct diameter for the 10 mm holes and verify that they are tightened evenly across all three beam sides.
Rust usually occurs where the finish was scratched during install. Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a matching black outdoor-grade metal enamel.
For optimal results, ensure your timber beams are cut square to ensure a flush fit within the connector. Align the bracket over the junction, use a clamp to hold the beams in place, and mark the hole locations if necessary. We recommend using galvanized, heavy-duty structural bolts to match the 10 mm pre-drilled holes. To maintain the product, inspect the connections annually to ensure the wood has not shrunk significantly, which could loosen the bolt tension. The weather-resistant black coating should be touched up with exterior-grade metal paint if the surface is chipped during installation to keep the rust protection intact.
