Shelf Bracket Heavy Duty 400mm

A single 400mm heavy duty bracket, for the deepest and strongest bracket in the range. Hooks into any 32mm pitch upright, ours or anybody else's.

Brackets are where cheap shelving gives itself away. A 2mm pressed bracket will hold a shelf and will also flex enough that the shelf front dips under a row of hardbacks. Ours are 3mm for the standard range and 4mm with a welded gusset for the heavy duty range, and the hooks are formed rather than welded on, which is what stops them opening up over time. Every bracket takes a shelf clip, supplied, so the board cannot slide forward off the front.

Fitting

Two people, a drill, a spirit level and about two hours for a single wall. Mark the top line first and hang every upright from it rather than measuring up from the floor, because floors are never level and a shelf that follows the floor looks wrong in a way nobody can put their finger on. Fix the first upright, level it, then use a shelf as a straight edge to set the next one. The fixing pack, a paper template and a printed sequence are in the box.
