Product Information
Full details
The Gezu Impex L-Shape Post Connector in Silver is designed for DIY enthusiasts and builders looking to create sturdy outdoor wooden structures like pergolas, shelters, and pavilions. Its primary benefit is providing a quick and reliable way to join two 70 x 70 mm wooden posts at a right angle. A key consideration is that it's specifically designed for 70 x 70 mm posts, so compatibility with other post sizes is limited. This connector offers a durable, weather-resistant solution for corner joints.

FAQs
What size wooden posts does this connector fit?
This L-Shape Post Connector is specifically designed to fit 70 x 70 mm wooden posts.
What material is the connector made of?
The connector is made from fire-galvanized steel, which provides good resistance to weather and corrosion.
How many screws are needed to secure the posts?
There are 8 pre-drilled holes (4 on each side) for securing each post. We recommend using appropriate exterior-grade screws for a secure fit.
Can I use this for outdoor structures?
Yes, the fire-galvanized steel construction makes it highly weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor applications like pergolas and shelters.
What are the dimensions of the connector?
The dimensions of the connector are 200 x 200 x 91 mm.
Does it come with screws?
No, the connector does not come with screws. You will need to provide your own suitable exterior-grade screws.
Can this be used for posts other than 70 x 70 mm?
No, this connector is precisely engineered for 70 x 70 mm posts. Using it with other sizes may compromise stability and security.
Troubleshooting
Posts are loose in the connector.
Ensure you have used sufficient screws (all 8 holes) and that they are tightened securely. Check if the wooden posts are indeed 70 x 70 mm; slight variations could cause looseness.
Connector is not fitting flush with the posts.
Verify that the posts are clean and free of debris. Ensure you are using the correct 70 x 70 mm posts as specified.
Visible signs of rust on the connector.
This is cosmetic for galvanized steel. For protection, clean the area and apply a suitable metal lubricant or protectant spray designed for outdoor galvanized items.
