Timber Corner Brackets

Timber corner brackets, also called spandrel brackets, fit to the tops of verandah posts where the post meets the beam, adding the decorative flourish that completes a Victorian, Federation or Edwardian verandah. Classic Woodturning has been making heritage timber products since 1984 as part of the Karem Woodcraft group, and we produce corner brackets in period-correct patterns for homes throughout Melbourne and Victoria. Fitted alongside our friezework and fretwork, they give the tops of your posts an authentic finished profile.

Outdoor brackets are generally made from durable LOSP H3 treated pine to withstand Melbourne conditions, supplied ready to prime and paint. The treated timber resists rot and insect attack in the exposed junction between post and beam, where water tends to sit.

Each bracket is custom manufactured to suit your post spacing and the scale of your verandah, so the detail sits in proportion rather than looking bolted on. To order, tell us the post-to-beam angle you need to fill and the width of the posts, or send photos and we will help you choose a pattern and size that suits the era of the home.

Our full matching service can replicate an original or broken bracket from a photo or sample so a restoration stays true to the period. On a heritage streetscape a mismatched bracket stands out, which is why we cut each pair to the correct pattern and scale. Larger, deeper brackets suit wide verandahs and heavier beams, while lighter patterns keep a small cottage in proportion.

Timber corner brackets arrive ready for your builder to fix to the post and beam. We deliver Australia-wide from our Bayswater workshop in eastern Melbourne, helping heritage owners across the eastern suburbs, the inner-city terraces and regional Victoria restore their verandahs with confidence. Whether you need one pair or a full run, each is made to order.
