A Frame Kit for 4x4 Wood Posts
Feature a piece of architectural history in your outdoor space with the 4x4 Single Triangle Frame Kit. This kit grants you the creative freedom to either pay homage to the classic A-framed structure or infuse it with a modern twist, making it a unique addition to your outdoor space.
Toja Tip: Ensure lumber is fully inserted into the bracket cavity, resting on metal tabs for proper installation.
Please note: This structure is NOT for creating swings. The brackets are not rated to support the force of a swing. These brackets are designed to create a freestanding A-framed structure.

Wood
Shipping wood is costly. Most of the population has access to stores that sell wood locally where they live. Buying your lumber allows you the freedom to select the type of wood you want to use for your build and budget. There are also regional limitations for what kind of lumber is ideal for your build; different species of lumber would be used in tropical climate vs. a cold one.
