Customer Reviews & Photos

Used your brackets for this custom playhouse. Outstanding!

These brackets are very well built and are exactly what I need for my pergola project. The shipping was fast and the customer service was perfect – I’m going to buy another set for my next project because I am so impressed with their look and function!

 

Daniel, Thank you so much for your help! 

Everything fit nicely!!!

This is the absolute best place to get brackets!

My Pergola is Built!

5 Stars!

The brackets made my firepit swing project so much easier. I didn’t have to worry about getting the right angles, the brackets did it for me! Having these brackets give me so much more confidence that my structure is safe and secure!

Awesome customer service!! Fast shipping!! Once you add the brackets to your project it totally transforms it, makes it look soooo much better!!! Thank you!!!! Still not done with our project, but here’s a photo of how it’s coming along!!

This is one of the Best, easiest and fastest responding companies I have ever have had the pleasure of doing business with. I will definitely be using them for any and all of my metal work.

Daniel,

Here are some pictures of the completed pergola and a mini-pergola spa house that I tucked in below.

Your brackets made it all easier, stronger, and prettier!

Best Pergola Ever!  We are so happy with our new River Drive Designs Pergola- in all seasons!

Best hardware on the market.

Fast shipping! Perfect! Excellent customer service.

Here are pictures of the completed project. The brackets worked perfectly. Thank you for the timely response and shipment. 

Very heavy duty and worked perfectly for my 10ft rack build!

These brackets are amazing! I used them to make a table for a friend.

Excellent product. Much more substantial than the ones found in the big-box stores. I used them to build 2 pergolas and I couldn’t be happier!

5 STARS!

These things are seriously sturdy.

We are excited to use these – we had ordered a bunch earlier in the season. We do live events and are working on a series of custom projects for clients for an open air structure — these brackets should really speed up the process and add quite a bit of structure to the project! Here are day and night time pics of the builds! And just ordered a bunch more as these made the project MUCH easier—thank you!

I purchased the metal brackets to build my pergola from Daniel at RiverDriveDesigns. He was awesome to work with. Everything shipped super quickly. The quality and craftsmanship were outstanding. I already have in mind many more things I want to build that he can provide the metal for.

These were perfect for my project. They arrived in less than a week. I got 4 outside corner brackets for 4×4’s, and made a very sturdy pergola/structure to hang shade sails on my patio. It was fairly straightforward, and the end result feels very solid, like it will hold up for years. Also, my neighbors love it!

Awesome Brackets ! I wanted to build something different for a change. Used these brackets to build an amazing heavy duty bench for my new CNC machine. 5 Stars! Fast shipping. We are going to build some more benches in our new shop this summer. Will purchase again!

These are amazing brackets and worked perfectly on my homemade pergola! Shipping was fast and I couldn’t be happier. Awesome seller and would recommend to anyone.

Amazing customer service and products! Thank you.

These arrived so fast – within days of ordering. They were very easy to install and I absolutely LOVE my new backyard canopy!!! Thank you, River Drive Designs!

Added these brackets to my fire pit swing setup, finished them off with some rustoleum paint.

Very good quality and very satisfied! Shipped right away! Awesome customer service! Would highly suggest to order from them! You won’t be disappointed! 5 Out of 5 Stars.

Works great at good price. Used for a pergola. Would buy again and recommend to others.

4 outside corner steel brackets

Really nice work on these! These well made pieces were delivered as promised, look great, and River Drive Designs is very easy to work with. I strongly recommend them!

I got the brackets and installed them. They look great! Awesome job 👍 I sent some before and after pics. I’m gonna tell the guy that built my pergola he needs to use these. Thanks for the help!

AMAZING!! The quality & look of these are even more awesome in person. Rugged / industrial with a really well-crafted style. And the shipping time — they even beat Amazon Prime! I highly recommend the seller (and already have to friends).

This 6×6 corner bracket came quickly and is a perfect fit. I dedicated it to my father by engraving his name on it.

Great communication and service from the seller. Product delivered quickly and was exactly what I expected and wanted.

This seller went above and beyond to help me buy the hardware needed for my pergola! Thank you!!!

Super fast shipping. Now I have to get to work. LOL. Thanks for a great looking product.

Project done; your product worked great!

Thanks for turning these around for me!

I came back for more after my first order…love this item.

Excellent product. This is very strong and well designed. So happy with it.

Here’s a picture of my project where I used your hexagon brackets. They were perfect for what I needed. 

Fantastic quality and fast shipping! Super friendly. Can’t say enough good things. Will definitely order from this shop again!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I needed a custom fit “Z” bracket and RiverDriveDesigns saved the day. We discussed the design and once I approved it, I received the bracket quickly. Painted it yesterday and hung it today. The post feels so secure now. Thanks again.

 

Brackets For 6×6 Posts! Heavy Duty Shop Table Pergola Brackets! Like the other products I purchased, heavy duty and well made. This will make the construction quicker as well. Very pleased with the product.  5 Out of 5 Stars.

Great brackets to help finish off my 4×4 post pergola build.  Looks great!

I purchased the metal brackets to build my pergola from Daniel at RiverDriveDesigns. He was awesome to work with. Everything shipped super quickly. The quality and craftsmanship were outstanding. I already have in mind many more things I want to build that he can provide the metal for.

These Brackets are the real deal! If you’re looking for heavy duty. Buy these!

Thanks for turning these around for me!

Results of custom corner reducer Daniel made for me. Turned out awesome! Thanks again for a great product.

Solid Brackets. Well made, durable. Fast shipping, well packaged. Great seller.

High quality and consistent measurements from piece to piece. Used on pergola and I’d say they’re probably the strongest part of the entire assembly. Highly recommend.

 

 
Love my 4×6 brackets from River Drive Designs that I’ve used for my pergola project. Great when paired up with my Douglas Fir timbers. Very heavy duty to hold the whole structure tightly. Daniel and the River Drive Designs folks are amazing too. They were very responsive with my customer service needs.
 

Super fast delivery. Quality of the brackets was tops. Looks great on the post!

Fast communication and response to my questions. Fast fabrication. Quality work. Excellent packing and protection of product, clean powder coat finish. Custom designs made for my project. Need I say more? Will do business again. Great service, RDD.

Good communication, fast to ship and fast (cross-country) delivery. I am very pleased with these brackets, how they integrated with the others and how they allowed me to build a pergola by myself. I would definitely use these again in the future! Thanks!

Heavy duty corner brackets for building pergola with 4x4s. Fast shipping and exactly as expected. Very satisfied. Thank you!

Outstanding brackets. Built a workbench 80 inches by 35 inches, used auger bit to drill 1/2 inch holes in 4×4’s and 2×4’s, and assembled the base upside down on shop floor. Brackets held the 4×4’s vertically, and used impact wrench to run 1/2 inch bolts through the wood. Bracket holes were perfect, and the brackets kept everything square.

Love my 4×6 brackets that I’ve used for my pergola project. Very heavy duty to hold the whole structure tightly. Daniel and the River Drive Designs folks are amazing too. They were very responsive with my customer service needs.

What a great experience! Daniel was super to work with, got my product done quickly, and it looked great! Will definitely do business with them again!!

Just what the doctor ordered. I am very pleased with the quality, strength, design and looks of this product.

Wanted to show you our new restaurant build out using your hardware!

Very good quality and very satisfied! Shipped right away! Awesome customer service! Would highly suggest to order from them! You won’t be disappointed!

My husband made a custom order for a desk he was building for our office. The quality was great – good amount of weight and really made the piece stand out.

The items are top notch and very well made. They’re thick and heavy and are holding up exceptionally well. Highly recommended.

.

Such a great transaction, I have “created” a project in my house, so that I can purchase from them again. Asked questions and they responded immediately!!

Used this to be the focal point of a small bed loft. Stunning.

Was torn between ordering these corner brackets and pairs of the Simpson Flat L’s to save a small amount.

These were the right choice. The finished look has a higher quality feel and it also gives you a little coverage if your corners aren’t Bob Villa perfect.

Good quality product. Thick steel. Smooth edges. Good powder coat application. Seller is excellent to work with.

Amazing, great quality fast shipping and quick response on questions!!

Great communication. Great product. I ordered the wrong hardware and Daniel was able to refund and ship my correct sizes all on the same day. Fantastic customer service!

I ordered the unpainted version and got them within a week of ordering. In packaging that def takes the cake in the column of security (it was a fight to get that package open)i suggest ordering from this shop if this is the stuff you’re looking for would definitely order again, which I will be doing.

Items came fast. Products worked perfectly for a pergola structure. Like how thick and durable these brackets are.

Good communication, fast to ship and fast (cross-country) delivery. I am very pleased with these brackets, how they integrated with the others and how they allowed me to build a pergola by myself. I would definitely use these again in the future! Thanks!

They arrived yesterday in perfect time . . . Loving the product, here’s a pic of my outdoor patio cart.

Thanks so much for getting the pieces out for me. The brackets and wheels made this project so complete. It’s ready for LSU Tailgating for my buddy now. 

Appreciate you!

Well made. Fit perfectly. Saved me a lot of work.

Used these for an outdoor grill table with a granite top and 2 BGE grills. It moves around with little effort, very happy I was able to find just what I was looking for.

I finished my project this past weekend.  I made the bench 8 feet long / 2 feet deep and 42” high.   It came together easy.  The wheels are awesome.  I move it around freely in my garage with ease and quickly lock it down with the upgraded leveling castors. 

Thank you so much for hearing me out and taking the initiative to seek the castor vendor out directly to provide me with a single source solution for the work bench.  I am still organizing my garage for the next project but will reach back out when I am ready. 

 

Really well made! They will work great.

Structural integrity was spot on. Will be buying more. 

Perfect fit for my mailbox. Excited lawn service can’t destroy the post anymore!

brackets and adapters to go from dimensional 6x6 to 4x4 posts

Sure fast shipping! Exactly what we needed and much stronger quality than other options we found. Beautiful, sturdy brackets. We will be ordering more!

Perfect! We were able to add our second arm to our sectional, allowing us to make two full couches!

It’s as strong as they say it is!

Great service, quality product. Very well made and sturdy. I have plans to purchase more this summer.

Super sturdy and attractive. Exactly what we were looking for.

Would not hesitate to purchase from this company again…product exactly as described and received impossibly fast. Very impressive.

These brackets worked very well for the construction of an arbor that we were building for clematis to climb up! The brackets were definitely heavy enough for the job!

I have bought numerous brackets for several different projects. The Post Hugger brackets are the best you will find. No sharp edges, precise measurements and the black Powder Coat stands up to the elements. The ship fast and are very fairly priced–what more could you ask?

I used these brackets to build a custom stand for the tender on my boat. They are very well made and sturdy,.. exactly what i needed.

Bought these for my CNC workbench and couldn’t be happier. They look fantastic and are suuuper sturdy.

Products are awesome, and the service and help provided by RiverDriveDesigns was par none!!!!  Excellent experience.

These corners were important to tie the structures together for my pergola – they lined up exactly with the outer corners and couldn’t have worked better. Shipping was fast and easy and everything worked out great!
