----------------- Not enough 'flat' at the top of the Porch Posts to accommodate your chosen Brackets? See if they will fit horizontally. Horizontal Bracket installation is also a good way to preserve limited headroom.

Photo #I-1 Brackets on turned post tops should fit entirely within the unturned flat area. These horizontally mounted Brackets hang into the turned area only very slightly. That's much better than if they were installed vertically. Usually we can omit a small amount of the Bracket design if necessary to provide proper fit.

These 21" Scroll Brackets are long realive to their height. They are a good choice for this porch because the Posts have a very limited unturned flat area at their tops. By chosing a relatively long Bracket, you can often achieve the desired overall Bracket size without violating the "must fit the flat" rule. Ampersand Gable Decoration also adds decorative flair.

#I-3
These Posts are chamferred rather than turned, but they still have minimal flat space at their tops. Also, judging from the door height, there is limited headroom. (Same limitation on previous house.) Horizontally installed Bird of Paradise (right) and 21" Scroll (left)Brackets nicely solve both issues for this home.
