Match the bracket to your post size:
If you ordered a NORWEH pavilion, the bracket size has already been spec’d to your structure. Confirm with your order or contact our team.
Post base brackets work with two foundation types we recommend for NORWEH structures.
Concrete Sonotube footers Pour a concrete pier below the frost line. Set anchor bolts in the wet concrete, then attach the bracket once cured.
Screw (helical) piles Drive a steel pile into the ground and fit it with a saddle. The bracket attaches directly to the saddle.

Yes. Brackets anchor your structure to its foundation and are required for the structural integrity of the build. They also keep the wood post elevated off the ground, which significantly extends post life.
One bracket per post. A standard 4-post pavilion needs 4. A 3-gable or double-hip pavilion may need 6 or more. Confirm your post count with your order.
Anchor hardware depends on your foundation type, local soil conditions, and your municipality’s building code. Sourcing it locally lets you match the right anchor to your specific install. Your local hardware store or building supply can spec it for you in minutes.
Yes. The brackets fit standard 8×8 and 10×10 lumber. They are sold without anchor hardware so you can configure them for your own foundation.
