Brackets for attaching a 2x4 to a 4x4

[CKfarm22]

Can anyone help me find brackets for attaching a 2x4 (small side) to a 4x4?? I’ve looked at HD and amazon and the only thing i could find is a hurricane tie

A hurricane tie would work fine to stabilize the 2x4 over the 4x4 if it's sitting flat on it. If you are bird-mouth cutting for full area weight bearing like a rafter, a hurricane tie would work as well.

It's this.

Joist hanger. If it's not supporting much weight just toe nail it.

Just an alternative to consider. I like to directly screw the two boards together and then if additional support is needed, use 1-2 basic L-brackets to make it stiffer.

They want to much money for those hanger so i made my own out of 2x4 scraps. Just notch 1 1/2" on the scrap piece and you have your hanger. I love my coop.

I would birds mouth

Of course you would but no everyone builds like you do.
What is the real advantage structurally to using birds mouths vs brackets?

Now here’s another question, Can i use these under t1-11 siding for the roof rafter without cutting a bird mouth in the rafter to fit over the 4” piece..? if that makes sense. I have no idea how to cut the birds mouth

It's better not to use a birds mouth, that way you have a better gap at the soffit for ventilation.....and the brackets make birds mouth unnecessary.
