Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking for a robust and aesthetically pleasing way to mount shelves. The key benefit is a strong, hidden support system that enhances the look of your wall. A caveat to be aware of is that the shelf and the cleat system are sold separately, requiring careful ordering. These brackets, with their 18-degree cut angle, are designed for use with a corresponding cleat to create a secure and clean shelf installation.

FAQs

Are the shelves included with the brackets?

No, this listing is for the Sawtooth Shelf Brackets ONLY. The shelf itself and the corresponding cleat must be purchased separately.

What is the weight capacity of these brackets?

The weight capacity depends on the installation method, the wall type, and the overall shelf width. For increased weight-bearing capacity, especially on shelves wider than 900mm, additional brackets are recommended for extra support.

How do I install the cleat system?

The cleat has an 18-degree cut angle. It should be securely fixed to the wall, and the bracket with the matching angle will slot into it. Detailed instructions are provided in the printed installation guide included with your order.

Can I use these brackets without a cleat?

While the brackets are designed to work with the cleat for a secure and aesthetically pleasing hidden support system, their primary function is to interlock with the cleat due to the specific angle cut.

What are the dimensions of the bracket?

The dimensions of this specific bracket are 33mm x 16mm.

What types of wood are available?

Our range of brackets and cleats are manufactured from four different timber types. This specific listing is for Solid Oak Wood.

How should I fix the brackets?

Fixings can be done using nails and a hammer, or alternatively, wood glue can be used instead of nails for installation.

Troubleshooting

Shelf feels unstable or sags.

For shelves wider than 900mm, additional support is required. Install an extra pair of brackets at the back of the shelf. Ensure the cleat is securely fixed to the wall and the bracket is firmly seated on the cleat.

Bracket and cleat do not fit together securely.

Verify that the bracket and cleat are of the same dimensions (e.g., 33mm x 16mm). Ensure the 18-degree cut angles are correctly aligned.

Fixings (nails/glue) are not holding the bracket firmly.

Ensure you are using appropriate nails or a suitable wood glue. For nails, use a hammer to drive them in securely. If using glue, allow adequate drying time as per the glue manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the wall surface is suitable for fixing.

Received only brackets or only cleats.

Remember that brackets and cleats are ordered separately. Check your order history to ensure you have purchased both required components. If a mistake was made, place a separate order for the missing item.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong and secure shelf mounting solution.
  • Offers a clean, hidden aesthetic when used with the matching cleat.
  • Easy to install with common household tools and fixings.
  • Can be reinforced for heavier loads by adding extra brackets.
  • Available in different wood types for aesthetic matching.

Cons

  • Brackets and cleats are sold separately, requiring separate purchases.
  • Shelves wider than 900mm require additional support, increasing complexity and cost.
  • The demonstration of a person standing on the shelf implies a need for significant reinforcement for heavy loads.
  • Requires careful measurement and ordering to ensure bracket and cleat compatibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Gather Components: Ensure you have both the Sawtooth Shelf Brackets and the matching Cleat. Note that shelves are not included.
  2. Determine Placement: Mark the desired location for your shelf and brackets on the wall.
  3. Attach Cleat: Secure the horizontal cleat to the wall using appropriate fixings (screws, wall anchors - not included) at the marked height.
  4. Attach Bracket: Align the bracket (with its 18-degree cut angle) to the cleat. It should slot into place securely.
  5. Fixing: For a permanent installation, use nails or wood glue to fix the bracket to the wall and/or the cleat. Follow the instructions provided in the printed installation guide included with your order.
  6. Shelf Installation: Place your shelf onto the mounted brackets and cleat.

Compatibility:

  • These brackets are designed to be used with the corresponding Sawtooth Shelf Cleat, which has a matching 18-degree cut angle.
  • Ensure the cleat size matches the bracket size (e.g., 33mm x 16mm bracket with a 33mm x 16mm cleat).
  • This listing is for the bracket only; the cleat and shelf must be purchased separately.

Care:

  • As these are wood products, clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture to maintain the wood's integrity and finish.
  • For longevity, especially in humid environments, consider applying a sealant or varnish suitable for wood.
