Building a pergola should ideally be an exciting and rewarding experience, not a frustrating one burdened with complications. At Modaprax, we understand that traditional pergola construction is often time-consuming, requiring precise measurements and multiple steps that are often prone to human error. That’s why we designed our innovative Modaprax bracket system to be a modular and practical solution that streamlines the entire pergola-building process.
Our bracket system eliminates the common pain points associated with conventional methods, allowing for faster assembly, improved accuracy and enhanced durability. Whether you’re an experienced professional or a first-time DIYer, using Modaprax brackets allows you to achieve a high-quality pergola with minimal effort.
Eliminates the Need for Profiles, Stringlines & Space Markings
With a traditional pergola setup, builders must use profiles, stringlines and space markings to plan out the structure’s footprint. This method can be susceptible to errors, leading to misalignment and unnecessary adjustments down the line.
With Modaprax brackets, assembling the frame on the ground first makes it incredibly easy to map out the space precisely, with no profiles or stringlines needed. This reduces the chance of mistakes and speeds up the early construction phase, ensuring a solid foundation for your pergola.
No Bracing or Concreting Required for Posts
Securing vertical posts is often a tedious task, typically requiring bracing and concrete, which can take at least 24 hours to set. Incorrect bracing can lead to misalignment, making post-adjustments tricky.
The Modaprax Base Bracket significantly simplifies this process by anchoring the pergola posts firmly above ground, eliminating the need for concreting. This approach ensures faster assembly, a stronger base and hassle-free timber replacement in the future.
No Need for Levelling, Cutting or Rebates
One of the most complex and error-prone aspects of pergola construction is carving accurate rebates into posts. Traditionally, builders must carefully mark and cut rebates to fit beams in place, which can be a time-intensive process requiring sharp precision.
Our Modaprax bracket system removes this challenge entirely. Instead of carving rebates, the beams rest securely on our specially designed metal tabs, ensuring a clean, professional finish at the corners. This not only saves time, but also reduces the risk of measurement mistakes.
Eliminates the Need for Clamping to Secure Beams
In conventional pergola builds, beams must be clamped to posts while being fastened, adding extra steps to an already complex build. As Modaprax brackets are designed to hold the frame together before the posts are secured, there's no need for clamping, making the installation process straightforward and frustration-free.
Rafter Brackets Allow for Measurement Flexibility
Precision is key when installing rafters, as miscalculations can result in gaps or alignment issues. Traditional joist holders require exact cuts, leaving little room for error. Modaprax's rafter brackets accommodate up to a 3cm variance in beam measurements (1.5cm on each side), accommodating minor errors and allowing for smoother, stress-free construction.
