The Rackhams Corner Brace Gallows Style Shelf Brackets are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to add vintage character to their shelving without sacrificing structural integrity. These brackets provide robust support for heavy loads such as bookshelves or decorative displays while serving as a prominent aesthetic element. While their gallows-style design offers superior weight distribution, users should note that the pronounced frame may require specific wall clearance to ensure the shelves sit flush against the wall.

These brackets measure 175mm x 230mm, providing a stable footprint for various shelf depths.
Yes, the gallows-style support is specifically designed to handle substantial weight, making them excellent for books.
Please verify your package contents upon arrival, as standard installation often requires hardware specific to your wall type.
These are primarily designed for interior use to preserve the integrity and finish of the material.
They can be mounted on most surfaces, though solid walls like brick or timber studs are recommended for maximum weight capacity.
Yes, we recommend fixing the shelf to the bracket using short screws from the underside to ensure stability.
Check that the mounting screws are tightened fully and that the wall anchors are appropriate for your specific wall type.
Ensure that the mounting surface is flat and that the screws have been driven deep enough into a solid stud or a correctly installed wall plug.
To install, mark your mounting points on the wall using a spirit level to ensure the shelves remain perfectly horizontal. Align the vertical part of the bracket against the wall and secure with appropriate wall plugs and screws depending on your wall material (drywall, masonry, or timber). Once mounted, place your shelf board on the horizontal flange and secure it from beneath to prevent movement. For maintenance, wipe down with a dry, soft cloth occasionally to remove dust. If the finish begins to dull over time, ensure it is kept dry, as excess moisture may affect the longevity of the bracket material.
