Spaded X Shaped Bracket or Flat X Bracket with Spaded Ends - (SXB13)
Spaded X-Shaped Bracket or Flat X Bracket with Spaded Ends - (SXB13)
Add strength and a distinctive architectural look with the SXB13 Spaded X-Shaped Bracket. This custom flat steel X plate is built for crossing timber connections — joining beams and posts in four directions while the spaded ends give the piece a finished, decorative profile that stands out on pergolas, gazebos, pavilions, porches, arbors, and timber-frame structures.Unlike a plain square-cut X plate, the SXB13 features tapered, spade-style ends that read as custom ironwork, not hardware-store steel. Fabricated as a true one-piece connector from high-grade American carbon steel, it delivers clean alignment, reliable load transfer, and an exposed-hardware look that elevates the whole project.
Every SXB13 is made to your exact dimensions and hand-crafted in the USA.

Why the SXB13 Spaded X stands out
- True X-Shaped Design with Spaded Ends – Purpose-built for four-direction beam and post connections. Spaded tips add a decorative, hand-forged look while keeping a tight, professional fit.
- Solid One-Piece Construction – Heavy-duty American steel formed as a single piece for structural integrity and a seamless appearance — no welds, no weak points.
- Fully Custom Timber Fit – Specify overall size, leg lengths, steel thickness (1/8″ to 1/2″+), exact hole size and placement, and your preferred finish so it matches your timbers the first time.
- Decorative and Functional – Works as both a structural connector and an architectural detail on exposed framing.
- Architectural Finishes That Last – Black powder coat, hammered black, oil-rubbed bronze, rusted patina, unfinished raw steel, and more. Choose a finish that complements cedar, pressure-treated, or reclaimed wood.
- CAD Verification Before Production – After you order, we create a detailed CAD drawing of your specifications so you can review and approve the design before we cut steel.
- Easy, Professional Installation – Pre-drilled for bolts or lag screws. Compatible with standard timber sizes used in outdoor and timber-frame projects.
- Made in the USA – Hand-fabricated at our Superior, Wisconsin shop from American-sourced high-grade carbon steel.
