Description
This two-piece Wall Hugger™ bracket set is used to bolt the side of a 4×4 post or a 4×6 post (your choice) to a flat surface—like the rim joist or side/edge of a deck, fence, or a concrete wall. As pictured, each bracket is 8” tall.
We offer 2 heights for the 4×4 brackets (both fit standard 3.5″ x 3.5″ posts): our standard 8″ height version, and a shorter 5.5″ version. Our shorter size is the same as the standard bracket, but has a height of 5.5” instead of 8”, for those who want a lower profile. If your deck board is more narrow, let us know before ordering and we can design yours accordingly.
For all our brackets in this listing, there are four holes (sized for 1/2″ Lag Bolts) to attach the brackets to your post. For attaching the brackets and post to decks, there are four holes (sized for 1/2″ bolts) so you may bolt all the way through your deck – – two holes on each side of the post. For concrete, you use the same four holes, but use 1/2″ concrete wedge anchor type bolts.
This listing is for a pair of brackets made to fit either standard 4×4 posts or 4×6 posts — just pick your choice when you checkout.
WOOD POSTS AND BOLTS/LAG SCREWS ARE NOT INCLUDED WITH OUR BRACKETS; you can pick them up at your local home improvement and hardware stores. Lifestyle customer photos depict build/use variations only.
Also great for fixing/reinforcing projects you already have! These are not flimsy/bendable metal — we make them using 1/8” thick steel so they are strong enough to take what you throw at it, but not so heavy where they are hard to work with on projects. And all our PostHugger™ Brackets are Made in America with American-Made Steel! We are the original designer of the PostHugger™ brackets, which may be copied, but never equaled! 🙂 If you find a PostHugger™ knockoff, give us a chance to meet or beat their price.
Please note that unless you choose the powder coated option, these ship as raw, unpainted steel. You can either paint them the color of your choice, finish them with a clear coat, or allow to achieve a natural rust patina over time. *** If ordering brackets in the black powder coat, please allow an additional 1-2 days for shipping.***
