The pressed steel shelf bracket is one of the most tried-and-true and popular ways to create extra storage space. It's incredibly easy with this pressed steel shelf bracket. Simply mount two brackets to the wall, each supporting a shelf. Voila, your extra storage space is ready. The brackets are available in a variety of colors, but white is the most popular. When choosing a pressed steel shelf bracket, it's important to determine the weight it can support. Check the packaging for the maximum weight capacity of two brackets.
Position of the supports under the shelf
If you want to attach a shelf to the wall using a pressed steel shelf bracket, there's a trick to making it as strong as possible. It's recommended to attach the shelf brackets to the wall about a quarter to a third of the way along the shelf's length. For a one-meter shelf, place the left bracket 25 to 33 cm from the left end of the shelf. The right bracket should be the same distance from the right end of the shelf. This will provide optimal support for the shelf. If the brackets are hung at the ends of the shelf, the shelf will quickly bend.
Method of mounting
A pressed steel shelf bracket won't easily buckle under a plank and the weight placed on it. This is due to the special shape of the shelf bracket. The weakest point is the corner. To artificially increase the strength of a pressed steel shelf bracket, a groove is created in the center of the material. This makes the shelf bracket extra rigid and less likely to buckle. Of course, you should always ensure you use the correct mounting hardware on the wall. Consider the wall material and purchase the appropriate wall plugs and screws.
