StoreWALL Brackets

StoreWALL brackets are the heavy lifting solution in the garage accessory range. Where hooks are designed for items with a natural hang point, brackets provide a structural support platform for items that are too large, too heavy, or too irregularly shaped to hang from a hook — kayaks, canoes, SUP boards, oversized timber, long ladders, and heavy sporting and camping equipment. All StoreWALL brackets are constructed from heavy-gauge powder-coated steel and include the CamLok™ locking mechanism as standard. A bracket loaded with a 30kg kayak will not tilt, shift, or detach from the panel unless you deliberately release the CamLok.

Bracket Range

Standard Shelf Brackets (254mm & 381mm)

StoreWALL’s standard shelf brackets are purpose-built for adding metal shelving to your slatwall panel installation. Unlike fixed wall-mounted shelf brackets, StoreWALL shelf brackets are repositionable — move them up, down, or sideways on the panel grid as your storage needs change without drilling new holes. Available in two depths:

• 254mm (10″) — suits standard shelving for tools, tins, and equipment up to 250mm deep
• 381mm (15″) — suits deeper shelving for large tubs, cases, and equipment

Both sizes are constructed from heavy steel, powder-coated for corrosion resistance, and rated for substantial shelf loads.

• The 254mm Bracket is compatible with the StoreWALL 812mm or 1219mm floating plastic shelf.
• The 381mm Bracket is compatible with the StoreWALL
  400mm Deep Floating Metal Shelf.

If you would like to make your own floating shelves, timber or metal shelving can be placed across pairs of brackets and can be cut to any width. This approach gives you fully custom shelf dimensions. Common applications: workshop shelving for power tools and materials, pantry shelving, laundry shelving, and garage storage for large items that don’t fit standard shelves.

Heavy Duty Angle Brackets

The Heavy Duty Angle Bracket is the highest-capacity bracket in the StoreWALL range, designed for the largest and heaviest items a garage is likely to contain. The angled profile provides a wide, stable support surface that distributes the weight of a large item across multiple contact points rather than concentrating it at a single pivot. Typical applications for Heavy Duty Angle Brackets:

• Kayaks and canoes — a pair of angle brackets provides a stable cradle for full-size touring or recreational kayaks
• Stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) — the wide support surface prevents pressure damage to foam or fibreglass decks
• Oversized timber and building materials — long lengths of timber, MDF, and sheet material stored horizontally
• Heavy seasonal equipment — rooftop cargo boxes, roof racks, ski equipment bags
• Large sporting goods — hockey bags, cricket kit bags, large equipment cases

The CamLok™ mechanism on the Heavy Duty Angle Bracket is the same rotary metal lock used across the entire StoreWALL range. A bracket supporting a loaded kayak will not shift position or detach from the panel while the CamLok is engaged.

How Many Brackets Do I Need?

The number of brackets required depends on the item being stored and its length:

• Shelf brackets: use in pairs, spaced to suit your timber or shelf width. Learn more about the bracket range here.
• Kayak / SUP storage: two Heavy Duty Angle Brackets per watercraft, spaced approximately 1/3 and 2/3 along the hull length for even weight distribution.
• Timber storage: two Heavy Duty Angle Brackets for lengths up to 2.4m. Add a third bracket for longer lengths or heavier materials.

Bracket vs Hook: Which Do I Need?

Use this guide to decide between a bracket and a hook for your storage requirement:

• Use a hook when: the item has a natural hang point (handle, loop, frame, wheel) and can be suspended from a single or double contact point
• Use a bracket when: the item has no hang point, is too heavy for a single hook, requires a support platform rather than a suspension point, or is too wide/long to hang vertically
• Use both together when: combining custom shelving (bracket-supported) with hooks mounted directly to the panel above or below the shelf

Frequently Asked Questions

What timber thickness is compatible with StoreWALL shelf brackets? StoreWALL shelf brackets are compatible with standard timber thicknesses from 19mm (DAR pine) to 42mm (structural timber). The bracket profile accommodates most off-the-shelf timber dimensions from Bunnings and timber yards. Confirm your timber dimensions against the bracket profile before purchasing if using non-standard thickness. Can I use StoreWALL brackets to store a kayak outdoors? StoreWALL brackets are powder-coated for corrosion resistance but are designed for covered garage environments. For outdoor storage in exposed conditions, inspect brackets periodically for surface corrosion and apply a protective coating as required. The brackets themselves are structurally suitable for outdoor loads — the finish is the variable in exposed conditions. How heavy a kayak can the Heavy Duty Angle Brackets support? The brackets themselves are engineered to support substantial loads. The limiting factor is the wall panel and InstallStrip configuration. A Standard Duty panel with InstallStrips installed is rated to 113kg distributed load per 2438mm panel. For kayak storage specifically — most recreational kayaks weigh 20–35kg — a properly installed StoreWALL panel system with Heavy Duty Angle Brackets provides substantial safety margin. Are brackets sold individually or in pairs? Brackets are sold individually. Purchase two for shelf or kayak applications. This allows you to customise spacing based on your specific item dimensions rather than being constrained by a fixed pair spacing.
