FAQs
Do I need to dig holes for these brackets?
No, these are floor brackets designed specifically for mounting pergolas without the need for ground excavation or post holes. They attach directly to a solid, flat surface.
What type of screws should I use to attach the bracket to concrete?
For concrete, use concrete anchor screws or lag shields with appropriate lag bolts. Ensure they are rated for exterior use and the intended load.
Can I use these brackets on a wooden deck?
Yes, these brackets are compatible with wooden decks. Ensure the deck joists or structure beneath are strong enough to support the pergola, and use appropriate deck screws or lag bolts to secure the bracket.
What is the maximum size of the wooden beam this bracket can hold?
This specific model (121x121mm) is designed to accommodate wooden beams up to 121x121mm in cross-section.
Are screws or bolts included for mounting the beams?
No, screws or bolts for attaching the bracket to the surface or for securing the wooden beams to the bracket are not included. You will need to use hardware appropriate for your specific base material and the load requirements.
How many brackets are included in this pack?
This pack contains 16 Gezu Impex Pergola Floor Brackets in the 121x121mm size.
What is the weight of one bracket?
The total weight for the pack of 16 is approximately 43.74 pounds, meaning each individual bracket weighs roughly 2.73 pounds.
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels unstable after installation
Ensure the bracket is mounted on a completely flat and solid surface. Verify that all screws or bolts securing the bracket to the base are fully tightened and appropriate for the base material.
Wooden beams do not fit securely
Confirm that your wooden beams are within the 121x121mm size compatibility. Ensure the beams are inserted fully into the angle slots and are then securely fastened with appropriate hardware.
Signs of rust or corrosion
While the hot-dip galvanised coating is resistant, prolonged exposure in harsh environments can eventually lead to minor surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a suitable metal protectant if extensive.
