NEED HELP?
For J brackets, we suggest ordering for the exact shelf depth. That means if the shelf board is 12" deep (or wide), a 12" deep J bracket is needed.
We offer sizing for both dimensional lumber (such as from a hardware store) and other sizes common for custom shelves and pre made board.
Number of brackets needed based on shelf length:
0”-36” = 2
37”-68” = 3
69”-100” = 4
101”-132”= 51
33”-164” = 6
We have a step by step guide to plan and install your projects. Download our Installation Guide.
Yes! We offer a Sample Finish Kit for all of our metal finishes so you can see the finishes first hand.
For lipped brackets, the shelf does not always need to attach directly. In fact, there are many reasons why this would not be preferred. Read more in our article Do Lipped Brackets Attach to Shelves?
That said, we can add a pre-drilled hole upon request, just send us a message.
A J bracket is a type of metal bracket shaped like the letter "J," - hence it's name. It's hook shape design allows to board to rest on the bracket held in by the front lip. These are our most popular bracket styles as they offer a minimal floating look with more support than hidden brackets.
