Connector plate

Build L, T, cross, pergola, timber, and custom angled connector plates with editable arms meeting at a shared joint.

Part inputs

Build a radial connector

Layout preset
Decorative ends

Common dimensions update every existing arm. Arm length runs from the joint origin to the nominal end; decorative tips may extend beyond it. Hole rows run along the arm. Row spacing is across its width. One hole per row is centered between the two setback limits.

Radial members
Arm 1 - 0 deg

2 row(s) - 2 stations - square

Measured outward along this arm from the joint at (0, 0), to the first hole center. Increase this to move the corner-side holes away from the joint. Overlapping holes from different arms are merged or omitted and reported below.

Arm 2 - 180 deg

2 row(s) - 2 stations - square

Measured outward along this arm from the joint at (0, 0), to the first hole center. Increase this to move the corner-side holes away from the joint. Overlapping holes from different arms are merged or omitted and reported below.

This tool creates user-defined geometry; it does not engineer or certify a structural connection. Consult a licensed engineer for structural applications.

Fast geometry

Set each arm’s length, width, and angle from the shared joint. Rulers and labeled arm details show how the dimensions relate.

Carriage bolts

Choose round holes or rounded-square holes with an adjustable internal fillet.

Important limits

This tool does not calculate loads, fasteners, material thickness, code compliance, or structural capacity. Consult a licensed engineer for structural applications.
