Looking for some brackets to sit vertical 3 x 3 timbers onto concrete base using some kind of bracket to bolt to the concrete base..DO NOT want the METPOST bolt down items.
Have seen some Galvo Brackets in Europe that keep bottom of timber OFF the ground....can anyone point me in the right direction to find these pleas? looking for 5 of them.
Thnaks in advance for your time.

as a builder 3 by 3 timber posts are not really up to much ,strength wise for a pergola
spend the extra fiver and get 4 by 4's

Awright mate check out a site called www.beamlock-solutions.co.uk go to components list and you'll find what you're after. We install these things all the time because the architect we work with loves em. You may have to phone them and blag a set by saying you bought a whole system and lost them or something. They are easy to work with and give you a tolerance of 3-4inches in height per post if the ground isn't level. The larger the wood the better a pegola looks. Just like women big is beautiful :;):
