Choosing the Right Wood Connectors and Hardware
Wood connectors and hardware are used to join timber components, secure wooden posts, hang garden gates and provide suitable locking or fastening solutions. They play an important role in the construction of fences, pergolas, carports, sheds, decking frames and other timber structures.
At Intergard, our range is organised into four main product groups: post supports, hinges, latches and timber connectors.
The correct product depends on the timber dimensions, the type of connection, the supporting surface, the loads involved and the conditions in which the finished structure will be used.
Fence Post Supports for Timber Posts and Pergolas
Our fence post supports are designed to secure timber posts to suitable ground or foundations. They are commonly used for fencing, pergolas, carports, garden gates and other outdoor timber projects.
Fence Post Spikes
Fence post spikes can be driven into suitable ground to hold timber posts without a separate concrete footing.
They are available in different sizes to accommodate various post dimensions. Suitability depends on the ground conditions, post height and loads. They should not automatically be used for heavy or highly wind-exposed structures.
H-Post Supports for Pergolas and Carports
H-post supports, also known as H-post anchors, are used to secure timber posts within suitable concrete foundations.
They are a popular option for pergolas, carports and timber shelters where the anchor, foundation and fixings are correctly specified for the structure.
U-Post Supports and Bolt-Down Post Bases
Intergard also offers U-post supports, U-post support bases and post support bases for appropriate fixing applications.
For installations requiring height adjustment, explore our adjustable post supports. Always check the required anchors and the suitability of the supporting surface.
Post Caps for a Neat Finish
Complete your fence or pergola with post caps. Depending on your preferred appearance, choose from wood, stainless steel, copper, brass or plastic designs.
Suitable post caps provide a decorative finish and may help reduce direct rain exposure at the top of timber posts.
Gate Hinges and Door Hardware
Our range of hinges includes fittings for hanging timber garden gates, doors, shutters and other suitable panels.
Strap Hinges for Wooden Gates
Strap hinges are commonly used on timber gates and doors. Their extended fixing plate distributes the connection across part of the gate or door.
Explore hot-dip galvanised strap hinges, stainless steel strap hinges and rustic-style strap hinges.
Hinge Hooks and Adjustable Gate Fittings
Hinge hooks provide the pivot point for suitable strap hinge installations.
Our selection includes adjustable hinge hooks, hot-dip galvanised hinge hooks and stainless steel hinge hooks.
Choose hinges and hooks that are compatible with each other and suitable for the weight, width and construction of the gate.
Gate Hinges, T-Hinges and Case Hinges
For additional fixing options, browse our gate hinges, T-hinges and case hinges.
Different hinge styles are intended for different applications, so check the product dimensions, material and load suitability before ordering.
Gate Latches, Door Bolts and Locks
A suitable latch or bolt helps keep a garden gate, shed door or timber door securely closed.
Garden Gate Latches
Our garden gate latches provide convenient closure for suitable outdoor gates.
For a coordinated set of gate fittings, explore our gate hardware sets.
Slide Bolts and Door Bolts
Slide bolts and door bolts are practical fittings for keeping suitable gates and doors closed.

Galvanised, Hot-Dip Galvanised or Stainless Steel Hardware?
Wood connectors and metal hardware are available in different finishes. Choosing the correct material helps protect the fitting against corrosion and ensures it is suitable for the intended environment.
Galvanised Steel
Galvanised steel has a protective zinc coating that helps slow corrosion. Its suitability depends on the coating specification and exposure conditions.
Hot-Dip Galvanised Steel
Hot-dip galvanised fittings can provide durable corrosion protection for suitable outdoor applications. Check the product specifications to confirm the level of protection.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is available in different grades and may be preferable in damp or corrosive environments. Select the appropriate grade for the conditions.
Decorative Hardware Finishes
For visible gate fittings and post caps, you can also choose decorative finishes. Explore our black post caps, copper post caps and brass post caps.
Important: Corrosion resistance and structural load capacity are separate considerations. For load-bearing connections, always use hardware and fixings suitable for the design.
How to Install Wood Connectors and Hardware
- Identify the application: Determine whether you need a post support, timber connector, hinge or latch.
- Check the dimensions: Choose hardware that fits the timber and connection.
- Assess the supporting surface: Check whether the fitting is suitable for timber, concrete, masonry or another substrate.
- Consider the loads: Account for the weight of the structure, wind forces and other relevant loads.
- Select the correct finish: Choose corrosion protection appropriate to the environment.
- Use suitable fixings: Follow the manufacturer's requirements for screws, bolts, anchors or nails.
- Inspect the installation: Check that the hardware is correctly positioned and securely fixed.
Safety note: Structural connections, post foundations and other load-bearing fixings must be appropriately designed and installed. Not every connector is suitable for every load or substrate.
