These industrial alcove shelf brackets are based on one of our best selling items (please see Feedback). They are made by us, a small family run business set near the idyllic Sherwood Forest area. In a village straddling the River Trent that can boast a blacksmithing tradition going back centuries. In this way, besides quality across all our product range, we give unmatched reliability and sincerity. That us, now for the bracket:

In length the shelf brackets are Ca. 19 cm and protrude Ca. 5 cm from the wall; a parameter that does not include the cast iron flanges and their hexagonal brass bushings which together sit Ca. 2 cm from the wall, giving a combined protrusion of Ca. 7 cm. 

Each alcove shelf bracket has a round cast iron wall mount flange, each with a diameter of Ca. 7 cm. The width of the screw you use should ideally be 5 mm; the screw length will depend on the wall type the industrial shelf brackets are going to be fixed to. Personally, and this isn't a recommendation as wall brick/plaster compositions vary, I like to use 5 x 40 mm multi-purpose screw along with a 3.5-5 mm (red) raw plug; whose hole has been made by a 6 mm missionary drill bit. 

Decorative hexagonal solid brass bushings bolt the copper piping to the cast iron flanges. They shall arrive already mounted and bolted tight with the three holes configured in such away that the industrial shelf brackets can be easily fitted.

A pair of copper saddles and wood screws will be sent with your order; these should be used to fix the alcove brackets to your wooden shelf. 

If you require a slightly larger or shorter alcove shelf bracket, then please email us. Typically an additional £2 per pair is charged for a custom cutting, depending on the work required.  

Thanks for looking and please take a look at my other items for sale: like some of the industrial brackets in the last image. Numbered from top to bottom #1 through to #4. 

The wooden shelf is for demonstration purposes, but for scale, it is 17 cm in width.
