HARDWARE

At Cutting Edge Metals, we don't just sell brackets—we provide the complete fastening solution to make your timber frame, pergola, barn, or custom metal project rock-solid and visually stunning. Our premium hardware line is precision-selected to match our custom timber brackets, beam connectors, post bases, and other metalwork, ensuring perfect fit, exceptional holding power, and a cohesive look. Whether you're securing heavy timbers, mounting decorative brackets, or assembling structural joints, our installation hardware delivers reliability that lasts generations. Choose from practical zinc-plated options for corrosion resistance and value, unfinished plain steel for raw rustic patina that ages beautifully, or black oxide finishes for that classic "old timey" forged-iron aesthetic. Explore Our Hardware Categories:
