Transform the structural integrity and visual impact of your pergola, gazebo, pavilion, timber frame home, porch, or outdoor structure with our premium 4-way post or column cross beam connecting caps (4W-PTC) – the ultimate custom solution for securely joining four beams or rafters at the top of a single post or column. Unlike generic T-shaped, adjustable, or one-size-fits-all post caps that often leave gaps, require shims, or lack style, every 4W-PTC cap is handcrafted in our Wisconsin shop to your exact timber dimensions and design preferences, delivering flawless fit, superior load-bearing strength, and architectural elegance that elevates any project.Why Choose Cutting Edge Metals 4W-PTC 4-Way Cross Beam Connecting Caps?

100% Custom-Fabricated for Seamless Fit – Built precisely to your post/column and beam sizes (inside clearance typically 1/16" over for easy sliding, or exact fit on request). Say goodbye to wobbly connections, forced modifications, or ill-fitting brackets common with off-the-shelf options.
Robust Heavy Duty Steel Construction – Made from high-grade steel plate in your selected thickness for exceptional structural support and durability under heavy loads, wind, snow, or long-term use.
Premium Powder Coat Finish Options – Choose from a broad spectrum of colors and custom finishes for maximum corrosion resistance, weatherproofing, and a refined, modern or rustic aesthetic that complements your wood perfectly. Unfinished/raw steel also available for on-site coating.
True 4-Way Design Flexibility – Engineered to connect four beams intersecting at the post top (cross or + configuration). Optional strap/sleeve extensions down the post for added stability, or custom orientations (e.g., centered, offset). Hole sizes and placements tailored to your preferred fasteners (screws, bolts, lags).
Decorative Architectural Statement – These aren't basic connectors – they're design features. Clean lines, optional detailing, and custom shaping make them ideal for high-end timber framing, exposed beam structures, and visible connections that demand both strength and beauty.
Straightforward Installation – Slide the cap over the post top, position beams into the arms, and secure with fasteners through pre-drilled holes. No specialized tools beyond basic drilling and bolting needed. Includes detailed measurement and install guidance with every order.
