Sturdi-Wall Plus, Wet-Set Bracket (8x8 Post) SWP88

Our new deck cover looks so beautiful. We used these

These brackets are well made, look good, and are very sturdy. I am very happy with them.

Works as described

We wet set these in concrete tube forms and built 40x30 pole barn. They worked great and met code.

Heavy duty. Well made.

These are merely one bent steel panel and four welded steel rods. Who pays this extreme price? Not me.

So I actually bought these from the manufacturer website like 5 years ago and just so happened to see them on amazon. I used these to set 8x8 cedar posts in 6000psi concrete for my pergola. These things are well worth the price they are thick gauge steel welded and powder coated. Whatever wood you attach will rot away and be replaced before you ever have to worry about these things going bad. Waaaaaayyy stronger than a Simpson strong tie. Highly recommend if you want it to last a lifetime.

I almost went with a cheaper brand, but glad I didn't. I looked closer at cheaper ones and the rebar legs all looked slightly off alignment to one another, which would cause the bracket to drift as you pressed it into the concrete and throw things off. These are perfectly aligned and will no doubt drop straight on the mark much easier not having to fight it so much. Build quality and welds all look good but I am going to put some better quality paint on these first. All in all, it was money well spent though as a metal fabricator myself, I feel they should be cheaper than $124 a pop when you buy more than 4. Was sent out promptly and arrived as said, tracking included, great job. For a free standing covered structure especially, these are the only type of bracket that qualifies or is rated properly. Most other wet set brackets do not technically handle the stresses that they will be given over time, but these will. Most only take one or the other, but not all 3 factors. It's rarely mentioned, so do your research. Highly recommended.
