Angled Face Mount Knife Plate - (AKP202)
AKP202 Custom Hidden Rafter Angle Brackets – Invisible Strength, Perfect Fit
When your timber-frame project calls for rafters, angle braces, or any angled timber connection, the AKP202 hidden rafter bracket delivers unmatched performance and beauty. Unlike visible L-brackets or exposed plates that ruin clean lines, the AKP202 is custom-fabricated to your exact timber dimensions and roof pitch so the heavy-duty steel completely hides inside the joint. All you see is seamless, elegant timber craftsmanship—exactly what discerning homeowners, builders, and architects want for pergolas, roof structures, pavilions, and full timber-frame builds.
Why the AKP202 Hidden Angle Bracket Is the Smart Choice
Simply provide your timber dimensions and the exact angle/pitch you need. Our team cuts and forms each AKP202 bracket so the legs slide perfectly between your timbers. Once installed, the bracket disappears, leaving only the clean intersection of rafters and beams. No unsightly plates, no exposed fasteners on the face—pure timber-frame beauty with commercial-grade engineering underneath.
- Completely Concealed Design – The bracket tucks entirely between your timbers so no metal is visible from any angle. Just the warm, natural beauty of your wood.
- True Custom Fit Every Time – Tell us your rafter and post/beam sizes plus desired pitch (any angle). We laser-cut and form each AKP202 to match perfectly—no gaps, no shimming, no guesswork.
- Heavy-Duty USA Steel Built to Last – Fabricated in Superior, Wisconsin from thick American steel (thickness options from 1/8" up to 1/2"+). Powder-coated in your choice of durable finishes for superior corrosion resistance against rain, snow, and sun.
- Lightning-Fast Installation – Pre-drilled holes and exact-fit legs make angled rafter or brace placement quick and foolproof—even for complex roof pitches.
- Exceptional Load-Bearing Strength – Engineered for wind, snow, and live loads on pergolas, lean-to roofs, gable braces, and structural timber framing.
- Pergola rafters and sloped roof structures
- Angle braces in timber-frame homes, barns, and pavilions
- Rafter-to-beam or rafter-to-post connections at any pitch
- Decorative yet ultra-strong roof framing where clean sight lines matter
- Outdoor living spaces that need to withstand Midwest or coastal weather
