How many brackets do I need across a floating shelf?

Categories: Brackets, Shelves

To create a shelf:

  • Up to 1.2m long: Use at least 2 brackets.
  • Up to 1.8m long: Use at least 3 brackets.
  • Up to 2.4m long: Use at least 4 brackets.

The number of brackets you need depends on the load placed on the shelf. If your floating shelf starts to bow, add an extra bracket for support.
