I have 5 2.something long pieces of 4x2.

I want to make a cover over an area next to the shed for storing wood. (ill probably have to start a new thread about that because i have no idea.

Anyway Ive seen in the states they have metal feet that fit exactly 4x2 and then for corners a 3 way affair that just slots onto the 4x2. so you can make a frame in seconds.

do we have something similar over here?

bit like these but not quite.

You could get the 3 way things made easy/cheaply enough, they are just 3 pieces of box section butted and welded.
I knew I should have bought that lidl welder.

Il search greenhouse thingies and joist hangers

the ones I saw in a thread on a us website had large square base. no need for fixing into concrete. i suppose with a welder that wouldn't be hard to make either.

Think I'll just use screws smile

I want more cover over this area to keep the rain off but stupidly want it high enough to get under.

Pallets cut up today now in a big pile.
