Looking for pergola brackets

[MaryRoberts]

We are building a new pergola in our back garden (attached to building) - trying to find some metal brackets to bolt the posts to the ground, the same or similar to the one shown in the photo below.

The photo was taken in Greece, where we lived for several years - these types of bracket are standard over there, they are great because the post is not in direct contact with the ground therefore doesn't get damaged by the weather etc.

Please let me know if you have seen these for sale anywhere online or in any shop. I have been searching but can't find them, and going back to Greece is not an option!!!

Maybe something like Screwfix's 88736 would do the job....esssentially for square section timber, but modifications would be easy!

Yes, Google was the first thing I searched but there is nothing resembling the brackets in my photo.

If its not massively decorative these would do

If they are to be on show then getting them made up by a stainless steel fabricator will cost less than you think.
