Heavy Duty Industrial Metal Shelf Brackets

Farmhouse Rustic Flat Metal Steel Bar Style

(Bulk Qty 6)

These sexy metal floating shelf brackets will give you the industrial rustic look you're going for. Painted with a uniform black powder coating, they will stay exactly the same as the day you bought them.

Raw steel looks great at first, but will always rust. Waxed coatings can rub off and eventually lead to rusting also. That's why I choose to only use e-coating, the same heavy duty treatment auto parts get.

Each bracket comes with two 1/4" x 2" black zinc lag screws for the wall and a 1" #8 black screw for the shelf (pictured).

3 Sizes

4" x 6"
5" x 8"
6" x 10"

=-= SPECS=-=

100% Bent Steel for maximum strength (not welded)
1.5" wide & 3/16" thick for a nice beefy look (not too big and not too small)
Black Electrophoretic Powder Coating so the bracket won't smear or discolor after years
2 holes on the wall side fit 1/4" lag screws. 1 hole on top/bottom are a little smaller because all you need is a general screw to secure the shelf. (I provide all screws)
"Lip" on is approximately 3/4" tall.
Each bracket will hold about 50 lbs each, so 100 lbs a pair. If you're not sure if it'll be enough, use an extra one. Always be on the safe side.
And I know it goes without saying, but for maximum safety & enjoyment, be sure to hit studs in the wall so the shelves won't come down.

The top is the measurement shown (6", 8", & 10"). Note that a 6" board from Lowes or Home Depot is a "nominal 6-inch board" ... which is actually around 5.5" inches. So to not have the bracket sticking out, you'll need to leave about 1/2" space between the back of the board and the wall. Because there's no lip, you can actually use a bigger board for this style. Or you could just use a wider board and it would look great.

The top measurement where the board fits is approximately 5/16" shorter than the stated number (i.e. 6" is actually 5-9/16"). Again, any board bought from a big box store (Lowes, Home Depot) will be 1/2" shorter than the stated width so it should fit just fine.

i.e. 6" board from store is actually 5.5" ... but my 4x6 bracket is approximately 5-9/16" deep .. leaving you just a little wiggle room.

An 8" board from store is actually 7.5" ... but my 5x8 bracket is approximately 7-9/16" deep .. and etc. for the 10" depth.
