Collection: 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.

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
