Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this bracket be used on a wooden fence?
Yes, provided the fence post is substantial enough to hold the weight of a water-filled basket.
Does this include the screws for mounting?
Standard mounting hardware is often sold separately to ensure you have the correct fixings for your specific wall type.
How much weight can this bracket hold?
It is designed to support the typical weight of a standard, well-watered hanging basket, though the total limit depends on the integrity of the wall surface.
Will the black finish fade in direct sunlight?
The powder coating is designed to be UV-resistant, though minor weathering may occur over several years of intense exposure.
Is this product available in other colors?
Yes, the Ambassador series also offers options in Green and Silver.
How far does the bracket stick out from the wall?
The bracket provides a standard projection to allow plants to hang freely away from the wall structure.
Troubleshooting
The bracket feels loose or wobbles when the basket is hung.
Check that the screws are fully tightened and that you have used the correct wall plugs for the specific surface material.
Signs of rust appearing at the screw holes.
Remove the bracket, clean the area with a wire brush, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, and touch up with outdoor black enamel paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, always use heavy-duty screws and wall plugs appropriate for your specific wall type (e.g., masonry anchors for brick or long woodscrews for wooden posts).
- Measure the height to ensure the basket is at eye level.
- Mark the mounting holes on the wall using the bracket as a guide.
- Drill pilot holes suitable for your chosen fasteners.
- Secure the bracket firmly, ensuring it is level.
For care, wipe the bracket down with a damp cloth once per season to remove salt buildup or debris. If the powder coating is accidentally scratched during installation, touch it up with an outdoor-grade metal paint to prevent localized rusting.
