A:  These are true measurements, so if you order it in rough sawn it will be a full 4", which would overhang a traditional 4 X 4 post. If you order the smooth version, it will be 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 which would fit better on a 4 X 4

A:  These wood brackets can bear weight, however, how they are installed is equally important. If secured properly, these should be able to assist with support the window.

A:  Hi Agtison, Thank you for your interest in our product line. When installing braces, It is recommended that you use some sort of screw or bolt. If you would like to avoid screws, lag bolts would be another option. Liquid nails however would most likely not be sufficient to support the brace. -Joe
