Most likely now you are asking yourself the question; what is the difference between the Garviks and Nesling pergola brackets? Well ... there isn't ! Except for the color ... and the brand of course ;-). The pergola kits from Nesling are powder coated in the color RAL7021, resembles anthracite / blue and provided with the Nesling logo, the Garviks connectors are powder coated in the color RAL9005, which is jet black and have no brand or logo on the bracket. The prices are also almost the same, so it is more a matter of color and the availability of stock that will determine your choice. However, Garviks has models available in various sizes so that these pergola connectors can also be used for thicker and heavier wooden beams.

There are 5 different pergola connectors/brackets to make the following wood joints:
