FAQs
How much weight can each bracket hold?
Each individual bracket is rated to hold approximately 15kg.
Can these be used outdoors?
While the brackets are treated to be rust-resistant, they are primarily designed for interior use. Outdoor exposure may accelerate wear.
Are screws included?
Yes, the product comes with the necessary fixing screws for immediate installation.
What are the exact dimensions?
The brackets measure 200mm in height, 200mm in depth, and 45mm in width.
Will these work on drywall?
Yes, but you must ensure you are using high-quality wall anchors suitable for the weight being supported.
Can the brackets be painted?
Yes, you can paint them to match your decor, though ensure you use a metal-appropriate primer first.
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels loose after installation
Check that you are using the correct wall anchors for your wall type (stud vs. masonry) and ensure screws are tightened fully.
Shelf board is sagging
Verify the weight of the items on the shelf; if the load exceeds 15kg per bracket, redistribute the weight or add an additional bracket.
Visible surface rust over time
While treated for corrosion, iron can be susceptible in humid environments. Gently clean the area and apply a clear protective wax or metal lacquer.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Corrosion-resistant coating for long-lasting durability
- Includes all necessary hardware for immediate installation
- Strong iron construction supports up to 15kg per bracket

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the pre-drilled holes on the vertical and horizontal flanges. Ensure your wall surface is level before marking the holes with a pencil. If mounting into drywall, use appropriate toggle bolts or heavy-duty anchors to prevent pulling. When mounting into brick or stone, utilize the provided screws with suitable wall plugs.
To care for your Acorn brackets, simply wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Because they are finished to be rust-resistant, you should avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could strip the protective coating. If the brackets are exposed to excessive moisture, a light occasional dusting with a clean, dry cloth will keep them in pristine condition.
