NOTE: -
These fancy brackets are designed for people looking for a
layered unit.
I can make these type of brackets up to a
full 3 inches thick for restoration type projects.
Typically the outside sections are from
1/4 to 1/2
inches thick with a center core anywhere from 3/4
to two inches thick. Call to discuss your individual
project needs.
All brackets are sanded smooth, sealed
and sprayed with a light coat of white primer and ready for
your custom painting. ... This is a really fun project
and a great way to dress up your front or back porch.

All of the Fancy Brackets on this page consist of three
parts. Paint the sections in your custom house colors,
glue and clamp together and they are ready to install. Truly
an ornate Victorian touch for your 'Painted Lady' project.

ASSEMBLY AND PAINTING
While it is much easier to have me assemble the three
pieces here and get them all ready for you to paint, to
achieve the two or three color effect you really need to
paint the sections apart from each other and then assemble.
It is quite easy to do and worth the effort if you want to
achieve that look. After painting...two good coats of
external latex using a brush, no spray systems, glue the
pieces together and clamp. Any waterproof glue will do
available at your local hardware store.
Painting a single color - don't underestimate the beauty
of this look. The recessed areas of the bracket
catches light and shadow and give a very clean classy look.
If you are going to paint in one solid color, have me
assemble them here for you.

I want to thank Dale E. for
sending in the pictures of his new Gazebo he just built from
scratch.....Beautiful work. The bracket style he used was
#
B-35 in a layered design so he could achieve a two toned
look with the brackets.
