FAQs
Do I need to anchor these brackets to the ground?
No, these are floor brackets designed specifically for mounting onto existing solid surfaces like concrete, wood, or composite decking, eliminating the need for ground anchoring.
What type of screws should I use to attach the bracket?
The type of screws or bolts will depend on your mounting surface. For concrete, use concrete anchors and screws. For wooden decks, use appropriate length lag screws. Always ensure the fasteners are rated for outdoor use and can support the intended load.
Can these brackets be used for something other than pergolas?
While designed for pergolas and gazebos, they can be used for other outdoor wooden structures where a stable floor-mounted base is required, provided the load requirements are met.
Are the screws for attaching the wooden beams included?
No, the screws or bolts for attaching the wooden beams to the bracket are not included. You will need to select these based on your beam size and ensure they are suitable for outdoor structural use.
What is the galvanised coating for?
The hot-dip galvanised coating provides protection against rust, corrosion, and weathering, ensuring the bracket's durability and longevity in outdoor conditions.
How do I clean the brackets?
You can clean the brackets with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating.

Troubleshooting
Bracket feels unstable after installation.
Ensure the mounting surface is level and solid. Verify that all screws/bolts attaching the bracket to the surface and the wooden beam to the bracket are fully tightened and appropriate for the load.
Difficulty inserting wooden beam.
Confirm the bracket size matches your wooden beam dimensions. Ensure there are no obstructions within the bracket's slot. Minor adjustments to the beam or bracket position might be needed.
Signs of rust on the galvanised coating.
Minor surface rust can occur but does not typically compromise structural integrity. Clean gently and consider applying a suitable metal protectant if widespread. For significant corrosion, replacement may be necessary.
