Beam brackets are used in construction and are designed to connect wooden beams or joists. They are primarily used in roofs, decks, floors, and ceilings to create strong support and provide excellent stability.

When a beam bracket is properly installed, it will hold the wooden beams in place as the wood naturally twists and moves over time. They ensure that the wooden beams maintain a true fit, ensuring long-lasting strength and rigidity.

Most beam brackets fall into the category of garden pergola materials and open up or down around the edge of a wooden beam on three sides and are secured with nails. There is a connecting plate beam bracket that is attached to the surrounding frame. They are versatile and are much stronger than using traditional nails or screws alone.
