FAQs
What is the length of the bracket?
The bracket is 25cm in length, providing ample space for most standard hanging baskets.
Can I use this for heavy planters?
The bracket is designed for standard hanging baskets, but always ensure your mounting wall can support the total weight of the saturated planter.
Does it come with mounting screws?
Please check the specific retail packaging, as mounting hardware requirements vary depending on whether you are attaching to wood, brick, or concrete.
Will the green finish fade?
The powder-coating is designed for outdoor durability, though minor fading may occur over many years of intense direct sun exposure.
Can I paint the bracket a different color?
Yes, if you wish to change the color, you can lightly sand the powder coating and apply an outdoor metal spray paint.
Troubleshooting
Bracket appears to lean downward under load
Ensure the mounting screws are tightened completely; if the surface is porous, such as soft brick, use expanding wall plugs for a tighter fit.
Surface rust appearing at mounting holes
Remove the bracket, clean the affected area with a wire brush, touch up with outdoor-grade green metal paint, and use stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the bracket, identify a flat, stable surface such as a brick wall or wooden fence post. Use a level to ensure the bracket is straight before marking your drill holes. It is recommended to use galvanized or stainless steel screws to prevent rust at the connection points.
To maintain the bracket, periodically check that the mounting screws remain tight, especially after high winds. A quick wipe down with a damp cloth at the beginning of each season will keep the green finish looking vibrant and clear of dust or cobwebs.
