This DIY kit gives you the hardware to build a four-block freestanding pergola — nine posts, steel brackets, and four shade canopies — in sizes up to 24' x 24', using standard 4x4 or 6x6 lumber you source locally. The brackets are laser-cut, pre-drilled steel, and the knitted HDPE canopies block up to 95% of UV rays while letting rain pass through instead of pooling.

Product Highlights
Complete Bracket Set
The kit includes 9 post base brackets, 4 corner 3-arm brackets, 4 middle 4-arm brackets, and 1 central 5-arm bracket — the full frame hardware for a four-block pergola.
Steel, Built for Weather
Brackets are made from premium 12-gauge steel in the 6x6 size or 14-gauge steel in the other sizes — laser-cut, laser-welded, finished with a premium weather coating, and pre-drilled for securing wood and accessories.
HDPE Shade Canopies
The four canopies are fade-resistant 180 GSM high-density polyethylene knitted fabric that blocks up to 95% of UV rays and is semi-permeable, so rain does not pool on top.
Straps and Mounts Included
Each canopy side has 4 straps to keep the canopy tight and prevent drooping, and mounting brackets and screws are included to secure the straps to the corner brackets and roof beams.
Sized Your Way
Choose 4x4 or 6x6 brackets and canopy sizes from 8' x 8' to 12' x 12'. Canopies measure 4 inches shorter than the stated size to allow room for mounts and straps.

Important Information
Lumber and the anchoring hardware for securing the post base brackets to a solid foundation are not included and must be purchased locally. Stainless steel #12 wood screws are included in the kit.
Anchor the post bases to a solid foundation and follow the kit instructions during assembly. Check local building codes and permit requirements for freestanding structures before you build.
Canopies measure 4 inches shorter than their stated size to allow room for mounts and straps; plan your layout with that allowance in mind.
