FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How Many Brackets Do I Need?

Number of brackets needed based on shelf length:

0”-36” = 2

37”-68” = 3

69”-100” = 4

101”-132”= 51

33”-164” = 6

What L Bracket Size Do I Need?

L brackets are super versatile - the exact shelf depth is not needed. This makes them perfect for custom shelves, irregular shelf sizes, and raw edge slabs.

We recommend using a bracket that is at least 2/3 the depth of the shelf. So if a shelf is 10" deep, or wide, a 7" or 9" L bracket could be used.

Can L Brackets Be Installed Either Direction?

Yes! L Brackets are so versatile they can be installed in either direction. This means they can be installed beneath the board as a classic shelf support.

Or, L brackets can be installed with the wall mount behind and above the shelf, more like a floating shelf style. This create a minimal shelving system.

L brackets are equally strong with either installation.

Should I Use Regular or Heavy Duty Brackets?

When looking at brackets, it's not just the load they can bear. There are a lot of factors to determine whether standard or heavy duty L brackets are the best option for a shelving project.

We offer both options and the more of these factors are checked, the more likely a heavy duty bracket is suggested:

  • Shelves thicker than 1.5"
  • Shelf boards deeper than 10"
  • Boards longer than 36"
  • Shelves will carry heavy items
