FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of this bracket?

Does the bracket come with mounting screws?
No, the Verve Florus 250mm Bell Trough Bracket does not typically include mounting hardware. You will need to select appropriate screws or bolts based on your wall or fence material.
Can I use this bracket for rectangular planters that are not bell troughs?
This bracket is specifically designed for bell trough planters. Its shape and support mechanism are optimized for this type of planter and may not provide adequate or secure support for other shapes.

What material is the bracket made from?

Is the grey color prone to fading?
While designed for outdoor conditions, prolonged and intense UV exposure can eventually lead to some fading in colored outdoor products. However, the neutral grey is generally resilient.
Troubleshooting
Bracket seems loose after installation
Ensure you have used the correct type and length of screws/bolts for your mounting surface. Re-tighten securely. Check that the mounting surface itself is solid and stable.
Bell trough does not sit level
Verify that the bracket has been installed perfectly level. Minor adjustments to the mounting screws may be necessary. Ensure the bell trough is correctly seated within the bracket.
Rust or discoloration appears on the bracket
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or salt air can affect finishes. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor surface rust, a non-abrasive metal polish can be used sparingly.
