L Brackets for Wall Shelves

Looking for an easy, yet strong way to create shelves? Our L Brackets are a popular shelf support for strong, sturdy shelving. 

This shelf bracket style is extremely versatile and ideal for kitchen shelving, bookshelves, bathroom shelves, or pantry storage.  Available in both standard and heavy duty options, use these L brackets for many different home or commercial projects. 

Because the exact shelf depth size is not necessary with this bracket style, they are a great solution for live edge shelves or uncommonly sized boards.

Two methods of installing an L bracket on a wooden shelf against a white background.

Your Choice of Installation

L brackets can be installed under a shelf for a classic look or behind the shelf for a more hidden, minimal design. Both are just as strong and secure.

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.

How Do I Install Shelf Brackets?

Check out our step by step guide to plan and install your project: Installation Guide.

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

American made with superb quality

I don’t even know where to start. I mean this company is 10’s from beginning to end. Website is great and easy to use and Allisa responds to the emails so quickly and spot on. The people making the brackets and the people finishing them and the people packaging them and shipping them. Top quality across the board. I’m an old man, lisenced contractor for 50 years and I can remember getting quality products back in the day. But I got to say I haven’t seen anything like this in a long time. I hope Cascade Iron Co. thrives. If you’re looking for top quality from beginning to end you won’t be disappointed!

Brass is class, again

Your brackets are everything I could ask for. One comment tho. The holes are not counter sunk for the screws going into the shelves. Small thing but we’ve been finish carpenters for over 50 years and it is a detail that notches things up a bit. That being said, everything about our experience has been exceptional!

Best Wall Mounted Coat Rack

I had been looking for a decent entryway coat rack for several weeks. The first one I ordered was from a different vendor, was smaller than advertised, and was on cheap particle board. I then found Cascade Iron Co. I ordered and received the best coat rack ever. I will be checking out the rest of their products soon. They make and sell quality products that you can depend on.
