Ozco Building Products 56638 Laredo Sunset 2-inch HV Rafter Clip, (10 per Pack)

Good

These work great for securing the rafters. They are not a complete replacement for good corbels to reduce movement, but they definitely provide a level of structural security.

I was building a pergola and struggling with the price of the brackets available from my local Home Improvement store so was going to just go without and use more screws/bolts. The power of the internet must have flagged I had been searching for brackets on-line as a more cost effective option. While ordering some other things on Amazon, these rafter clips popped up!! They are the perfect items for my job and price is more then 3 times cheaper then what I had been considering at the box stores!! They install easily, look awesome, and are stronger then they look!

Used item to add additional strength and decorative appeal to cross members on an ornamental pergola. The contractor had only used 90 degree L brackets to attach the cross members to the underside of the joist providing minimal lateral stability so I added these. The black iron looks also adds a bit more visual appeal. While a bit hard to tell from the picture, this only sits against 1 side of cross member and support joist.

I used LOTS of OZCO products on the Outdoor Kitchen I am in the process of building.

I used several pieces from the Laredo line to build my pergola. Would eagerly purchase these products again for my next project.

Functionality and look.

Looks nice
