Custom Built for Your Project (Listing is for One [1] Bracket)Unlike mass-produced, thin-gauge hardware found in big-box stores, our brackets are fabricated to order specifically for your project. We do not "mass produce" our inventory; each piece is individually crafted in our Madison, Indiana shop. This allows us to offer the structural thickness, custom angles, and high-end finishes that industrial manufacturers simply cannot provide.
The Madison Iron and Wood Difference:
Tailored to Your Pitch: Available in 3/12 to 12/12 ceiling pitches. We specialize in the exact angles and custom sizes that the "one-size-fits-all" brands ignore.
Superior Material Thickness: Choose between Heavy Duty 12-Gauge or ultra-premium 1/4-inch Thick American Steel for maximum structural rigidity and peace of mind.
Offset Hole Pattern: Our engineered cradle design features offset mounting holes, ensuring wood screws or bolts never collide during installation for a cleaner, more secure connection.
Industrial UV-Resistant Finish: Finished in a high-durability, baked-on powder coat with UV inhibitors. Unlike standard paint, our finish resists fading and weathering in exposed beam applications.
Veteran-Owned Craftsmanship: Every bracket is made-to-order, giving you a level of quality and customization (hole sizes, colors, dimensions) that mass-market hardware can't match.
Technical Specifications:
Quantity: Listing is for one (1) individual bracket.
Mounting Type: Face Mount Saddle Bracket
Lumber Compatibility: Sized for Nominal 2x6, 4x6, and 6x6 rafters, as well as True-Sized Rough Cut lumber.

I was very surprised they had this available. We had to have it! It is going to be mounted on a cattle gate cannot provide a photo because gate needs to be painted before we mount it. We love it though it came out beautiful! Order came very quickly and it was packaged well to avoid any breakage. Great quality work on both items we ordered!
I love all the post caps. They look great in our yard. This was my first fence project so I learned what the difference between nominal and true 4x4 cap size meant. thanks for such beautiful work.
I use these decorative flags to repurpose old mailboxes into wedding card boxes for friends and family. They make such a great gift, and the variety of flags makes it so personal!
I bought two of these for the banister posts leading up to my front porch.
They are simply breath taking! They add so much class to my turn of the century home.
The craftsmanship is perfection. Every detail is welded and polished and painted to last for years!
I will be buying more when the need arises.
Thank you for your professionalism!
I purchased the 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Heron post cap. It is absolutely beautiful. I did have to do a significant about of sanding to make it fit. I liked it so much that I ordered another one.
Excellent experience. I had a question about my order after I placed it and the response was very prompt. The product was shipped out quickly and was exactly as described. Beautiful addition to my deck.
Just newly landscaped and fenced a new property, still a work in progress but my landscaper suggested adding fence post caps and so I did a random internet search which led me to Madison. So glad I did. I think it elevated my new cedar & hog wire fence. These are quality caps. You may not be able to see from the photo, but on the very back gate, I installed the red dog bone caps which are adorable...this area is technically my dog run so added those for fun.
We love the design and build quality. Very well made. Could not be Happier. If you are on the fence about buying one just do it. These will last forever.
Great product and fitment was perfect exactly what I wanted. I will be ordering more things. I would also like o add the whole process was seamless from ordering to shipping.
Duck came and I was excited. I was surprised when it didn't just fit from the get go. But I was made aware of the reason for this. I made the adjustments necessary and got it to fit nicely. It caps off my Oregon Ducks themed "bird feeder pole!"
Hope the pictures came through. I christened your duck with a yellow "O."
Thank you for your metal Duck topper for my 4x4 post. Go Ducks 🦆!!
Very high quality product that fit on my 4x4's perfectly. The order was shipped promptly and arrived long before promised. Overall, this was a great experience and I would purchase from this company again.
I purchased 10 different post caps and 21 total. They all came in perfect condition-well wrapped and not a scratch on them. Installed them all easily following the video instructions. They have only been up 2 hours and I received several compliments. Would highly recommend them to anyone.
PS. I appreciate the extra screws you sent since I lost one in the bushes!
The tolerance on a post is sloppy. The tolerance on these caps is very tight. Get yourself a sharp chisel. You may need to shave some wood. They look good. I am curious to see how they wear over the course of years with exposure to the elements.
Fantastic company. Love love love my fish rope rings (8) and the corner bracket works great for my deck netting. Can’t wait until my post caps come in. Unfortunately I didn’t order them at the same time. But delivery was quick Very highly recommend this company
