Structural Connectors for Post & Beam Construction

Connext manufactures aluminum connectors used to join posts, beams, and multi-member joints in post and beam construction. Our system is designed to simplify timber connections while maintaining clean architectural lines and efficient installation on site.

Structural Connectors

The Connext system begins with patented and structurally approved connectors, fabricated from 6061 structural grade aluminum and e-coated black. Connext displays the wood with minimal metal visibility. Architects can add them confidently for either an old-school or a minimalist, modern look. Contractors and experienced DIY-ers can frame easily with the Connext system, preserving the natural beauty of wood.

“I have been fortunate to design / build many spectacular custom projects. I found Connext about 10 years ago. They have simplified my timber framing dramatically. I don't have to custom design, engineer, and fabricate connectors any longer. The Connext product dramatically simplifies and expedites installation. My framers love it and so do I.”

Tools for the Job

Connext tools are designed to support accurate, repeatable timber cuts for use with the Connext system. These tools simplify layout, slotting, end cuts, and angled cuts, helping crews execute clean connections with consistency on site.

The goal is not complexity — it’s reliability, speed, and predictable results in the field.
