The Poppy Forge Wall Swan Neck Bracket is ideal for gardeners and homeowners looking for a robust, elegant solution to display hanging baskets. This British-designed bracket offers exceptional support for planters ranging from 16 to 20 inches, thanks to its heavy-duty solid steel construction and a generous 15-inch reach. While the UV-stabilised black finish provides excellent weather resistance, users should ensure their wall mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the bracket, a full basket, and damp soil.

While the bracket is highly durable due to its 10mm steel construction, always ensure your wall fixings are rated for the combined weight of the wet basket and the bracket itself.
No, mounting hardware is not included because the ideal screw type depends entirely on your specific wall material (brick, wood, or concrete).
It is recommended for 16-20 inch baskets; a 22-inch basket may place the center of gravity too far forward or cause the plant foliage to touch the wall.
The finish is a standard black UV-stabilised coating that typically presents as a smooth, semi-matte outdoor finish.
The bracket measures 38cm in total length from the base to the outer curve.
Check that the mounting screws are tightened completely. If the wall is soft or crumbling, you may need larger anchors or a more secure mounting location.
Rust at mounting points is usually due to moisture ingress where the screw head meets the metal. Apply a clear silicone sealant around the screw head to prevent water from reaching the steel.
To install, mark your drill holes against the wall using the bracket's mounting plate as a template. Ensure you use heavy-duty screws and appropriate wall plugs (not included) suited to your specific wall type, such as masonry anchors for brick or toggles for hollow surfaces.
Compatibility: This bracket is optimized for 16-20 inch hanging baskets.
Care: While the UV-stabilised finish is durable, you can maintain the aesthetic of the bracket by wiping it down with a damp cloth at the beginning of each season to remove dust or debris. If the finish is accidentally scratched during installation, applying a touch of exterior-grade metal paint will prevent moisture from reaching the raw steel and causing corrosion.
