FAQs

What size screws and wall plugs should I use?

The required screw size and type of wall plug depend entirely on your wall material and the weight of the item you intend to hang. It is recommended to consult your local hardware store for advice based on your specific installation.

Does this bracket come with screws?

No, this product is the bracket only. Screws and wall fixings are not included and must be purchased separately.

What is the maximum weight this bracket can support?

The product description states it provides 'strong, reliable wall support' and helps 'support heavy loads'. However, a specific weight limit is not provided. Always ensure your wall fixings are adequate for the load and that the wall itself is sound.

Can I paint this bracket a different color?

While possible, painting may void any warranty and could affect the corrosion resistance if not applied correctly. If you choose to paint, use a metal primer and a durable metal paint suitable for outdoor use.

Is this bracket suitable for indoor use?

Yes, the bracket is suitable for indoor use, but its design and finish are optimized for outdoor durability and weather resistance.

How far does the hook extend from the wall?

The bracket is designed to hold hanging baskets and planters, offering sufficient depth for most standard sizes. Specific extension measurements are not detailed, but it is designed for clear hanging space.

Troubleshooting

Bracket feels loose after installation

Check that the screws are fully tightened and that appropriate wall fixings (e.g., wall plugs) were used for the specific wall type. Ensure the wall itself is solid and not crumbling.

Visible rust spots appearing

While the finish is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or damage to the coating can cause minor rust. Clean affected areas gently and consider applying a clear metal sealant for extra protection.

Bracket is not level

Loosen the screws slightly, adjust the bracket to be level using a spirit level, and then retighten the screws securely.
