The Rackhams Corner Brace Gallows Style Shelf Brackets are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to combine structural integrity with a vintage aesthetic for their shelving projects. These black, heavy-duty brackets provide excellent load-bearing support for items ranging from bookshelves to display units, making them ideal for traditional or industrial-themed interiors. While their construction is robust and installation is straightforward, users should ensure their wall material is suitable for the hardware used to properly support the weight of the intended load.

This variant measures 165mm x 180mm.
While the finish is durable, these are primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoor use may lead to premature wear due to weather exposure.
The weight capacity is significant due to the gallows design, but it ultimately depends on the strength of your wall material and the quality of the fixings used.
Yes, they are designed for easy installation, though you should verify that the included screws are suitable for your specific wall material.
Yes, Rackhams offers other sizes, including 125mm x 125mm and 175mm x 230mm, to suit different shelf depths.
Verify that all mounting screws are tightened fully and ensure the bracket is flush against the wall without debris behind it.
Loosen the mounting screws slightly, adjust the bracket position using a spirit level, and re-tighten the screws securely.
The included hardware may not suit all wall types; purchase specific masonry plugs or toggle bolts appropriate for your wall structure.
To install these brackets, ensure you have a level, drill, and appropriate wall fixings for your specific wall type (drywall, masonry, or wood studs). Begin by measuring the exact spacing required for your shelves and marking the wall. Use a spirit level to ensure the brackets are perfectly aligned before drilling. Once installed, check that the brackets are flush against the wall surface. For maintenance, keep the black finish looking new by periodically dusting with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could scratch or dull the protective coating. If the brackets are installed in damp areas, ensure they remain dry to prevent any potential long-term surface corrosion.
