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.
Height Options (ID): 3" to 16" (not the hypotenuse)
Hardware Ready: Pre-drilled for 5/16" lag bolts (Matching lag bolts available separately).
Custom Orders: Need a specific angle, a unique flange width, or custom hole sizes? We specialize in one-off fabrication to solve your specific structural needs. Contact us at 812-748-2021 or mail@madisonironandwood.com for a custom quote.

This was a birthday present from myself in the UK to my son out there in the Seattle region. The present package was only opened yesterday and his message back to me read:-
"Love it.... it's brilliant and many thanks".
He will get the sign mounted ASAP and so the whole process will have been a total success and so I send you my thanks too.
Best regards

I have to say, I did not read the listing entirely. I did not see it took a couple weeks. I asked them, and they explained nicely. I was a bit frustrated as I thought how long to plasma cut a piece of metal. Let me tell you, when I received it, now I understand. Gorgeous piece, very high quality. Thank you very much I love it!
I installed a 14 foot custom gate that I had someone build. I added a mighty mule opener system with 5x5 .250 wall boxed tube and added the madison iron domed caps with self tapping screws to install the caps to the posts. Thank you guys!
We have lots of wild turkeys in our area so that was an obvious choice. We love them. The workmanship and quality are great, and the order was filled quickly. You were recommended by a friend and we thank her and you so much.
We love it! It's super cute, and very well made. The only problem is I sometimes see it out of the corner of my eye and think there's a kitty watching me!
We ordered custom hangers to fit two different sizes of beams because we couldn’t find ready-made hangers in the sizes we needed. These were well-priced, arrived relatively quickly and are well-made. They look beautiful in our remodeled ceiling. We would definitely recommend Madison to anyone with similar needs. Thank you!
Very nice post caps! I used a large file to take a little wood off the edges/corners so the caps tapped on snugly with a rubber mallet & screwed them on. They really give the stairs a classy finished look!
We bought a sign for my husband's business workshop (to the right of the door in the photo) and five fencepost toppers and all of them are beautiful! The quality is great and they were as described on the site. If we can find more places to put their ironworks, we will be buying more! Really beautiful!
This is the second time I ordered from your company. Last time was tee shaped brackets. Love your products. Very high quality.
Not sure if you received the pictures I took but worked out well.
I had to improvise a little. My posts turned out to be 5 3/4". I cut a piece of 3/4" cedar to fit in the bottom of the caps. Screwed it to the top of the posts and then the caps over.
When I received them and went to install them it was an Oh S#$% moment.
Thought about ordering the six inch but there would of been a gap. Didn't think it would look good.
Wish I had more use for your products.
I'll work on it.
Thank you for a great American Company!!
