Wood Brackets Info

Explore sections to find out more about Wood Brackets.

Our Wood Brackets are handcrafted architectural elements that add decorative appeal and structural support to exterior and interior projects. Each bracket is built in-house in the USA from solid Western Red Cedar, in a standard design or made to suit your project.

Use them on porches, roof canopies, pergolas, gables, soffits, beam accents and more. Every bracket pairs a solid body timber with a supporting brace for a bold, lasting architectural statement. Whether you need one bracket or hundreds, we build to the demands of your project.
