Product Highlights
Freestanding 2-Block Layout
Six posts carry the whole structure with no house attachment, at any footprint up to 24' x 12' — a good fit for longer, narrower spaces.
Traditional Rafter Roof
The kit includes 21 roof rafter brackets, so rafters sit atop the roof beams in the traditional style, with optional overhangs.
Two Lumber Sizes
Order the kit for 4x4 posts with 2x4 rafters, or step up to 6x6 posts with 2x6 rafters for a heavier build.
Steel, Cut and Welded Precisely
Brackets are laser-cut and laser-welded, made with 12-gauge steel in the 6x6 size or 14-gauge steel in the other sizes, with a weather coating for outdoor conditions.
