American Steel Shelf Brackets
Elevate your shelving game with our hand welded American made steel brackets! Crafted with precision and built to last, they offer unmatched strength and durability. Bring a touch of quality and style to your home or workspace with our steel brackets!
All brackets are powder coated for superior adhesion, durability, and sustainability. It creates a strong bond, lasts longer than liquid coatings, and can withstand harsh conditions. It is also eco-friendly, producing no harmful VOCs.
We use state-of-the-art equipment and experienced technicians to ensure that your products receive the best possible finish, every time.
We offer three different Powder Coat finishes options for the brackets:
• Clearcoat on steel
• Black
• Brass
*Brass brackets have an ADDITIONAL FEE because the brass powder coating requires more coats of finish to achieve the proper results.
Brackets are sold individually. We did this because many people need an odd number of brackets for their project.
WEIGHT CAPACITY:
The solid steel shelf bracket mounts to the wall several locations, hidden behind each shelf. (For example, a 5 shelf bracket will mount to the wall in 5 locations) This displaces the weight evenly throughout the bracket, making for an extremely sturdy design that is easy to install. We recommend placing a bracket every 16"-32" of shelf distance. The number of brackets you use for your project will depend on the overall length of the shelves and the amount of weight you'd like them to bear (more brackets = higher weight capacity) For heavy duty shelving, such as a fully loaded bookshelf, we recommend placing brackets 24" apart or less. When spaced ≤ 24", the brackets can support 50lb per linear foot of shelving.*
If you need help figuring out how many brackets are necessary for your project, please contact us and we will make a recommendation with a custom rendering for you.
*How the brackets are mounted to the wall directly impacts the load capacity. Different wall constructions require different kinds of mounting anchors. For this reason, we DO NOT include wall mounting anchors. We provide a detailed outline of our recommended wall anchors for the different constructions within the installation manual.
The shelves attached to the brackets in 2 locations on each shelf rung. We DO provide 3/4" wood screws to attach the wood shelves to the brackets. Please message us if you would like to see the installation manual prior to ordering or if you have any other questions. We have installed this shelving hundreds of times on just about every kind of construction and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
