So in the present day, I’m going to point out you ways I made the brackets for the pergola. I had initially deliberate to construct the brackets to match these on the aspect door of the studio, however I modified my thoughts. I believe these brackets are too massive and ponderous for the workshop. Plus, the 2 doorways can’t be seen on the identical time. Should you’re standing the place you may see the workshop entrance door, there’s no approach to see the studio aspect door, and vice versa. So after deciding that wasn’t vital, I simply went with a unique design that I actually favored.
I needed my brackets to be 31″ x 31″. So I began with a 2″x4″, and I reduce one piece to 29.5″ and the opposite piece to 31″. I sanded these very well with 80-grit sandpaper with my orbital sander, after which sanded the corners by hand.

You’ll be able to see above that the 2 items have a black mark on one finish. That’s the place I marked the place I reduce the two″x4″ to chop the 2 items. I marked these in order that I may put the bracket along with these ends collectively. Typically placing wooden items again collectively the place you chop them creates a greater match. It’s only a good follow to get into.
