8 in. x 10 in. White Steel Shelf Bracket

Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is,The width at the widest point is 1.77-in. and the thickness is 0.6mm.

Hi Home Depot Customer, The product is labeled as an "8 in. x 10 in. White Steel Shelf Bracket (40-Pack)". However, the product details also indicate that it is "Sold as a single unit" and the "Package Quantity" is "1". This suggests a discrepancy in the product description. For further clarification, you may want to check the product page on The Home Depot website or contact customer support.

"Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is,Hi Home Depot Customer, These Everbilt shelf brackets are designed to support shelves from underneath, with the L-shaped bracket providing support against gravity. While the bracket is versatile in allowing either the 8-inch or 10-inch side to be mounted against the wall, this is intended for standard under-shelf support. Installing the bracket with the side against the wall *above* the shelf and the other leg attached to the *top side* of the shelf is not the intended method. This type of installation would place the fasteners under tension rather than compression, which could significantly reduce the weight capacity and stability of the shelf. The brackets are designed to hold up to 100 lbs. individually or 200 lbs. per pair when installed in the conventional supporting manner. For optimal safety and to ensure the stated weight capacity, it is recommended to install the brackets to support the shelf from below."

Wouldn’t be safe for supporting any real weight. That would make it so the load is trying to pull the screws straight out of the wall. Tearing some wood fibers like that requires far less force than the alternative.

"Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is,When installing the Everbilt 8 in. x 10 in. White Shelf Bracket, aligning all screw holes with a wall stud can be challenging. It is recommended to secure the bracket to a stud whenever possible. For screw holes that do not align with a stud, you should use appropriate drywall anchors. A suggested approach is to aim for the bottom hole and one of the two holes against the wall to engage with a stud, as this might be a more feasible combination than trying to align all parallel holes. The bracket supports up to 100 lbs. per bracket, and it is recommended to use #7 x 1 1/4 in. and #7 x 1/2 in. screws for installation (screws are not included)."

Supports up to 100 lbs.

Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is,100LBS per piece, the average placement and spacing between the two are 16 inches, then each pair weighs 200LBS.

"Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is,While the product description recommends #7 screws (which are approximately 0.177 inches in diameter), it doesn't specify the exact diameter of the holes on the bracket. Therefore, I can't definitively say whether a #8 screw (approximately 0.199 inches in diameter) will fit. It's possible the holes are slightly larger than needed for a #7 screw to allow for some tolerance, but it's best to check the product dimensions or the bracket itself in-store to be sure. "

You can install it with either the long end (10 inches) or the short end (8 inches) against the wall, depending on your shelving needs and the space available. ### Installation Steps: 1. **Determine Placement:** - Decide whether you want the 10-inch side or the 8-inch side against the wall. This choice will depend on the depth of the shelf you plan to use. 2. **Mark the Wall:** - Hold the bracket against the wall in the desired position. - Use a pencil to mark the screw holes on the wall. 3. **Drill Pilot Holes:** - Drill pilot holes at the marked points to make it easier to insert the screws. 4. **Attach the Bracket:** - Align the bracket with the pilot holes. - Use appropriate screws (recommended #7 x 1 1/4 in. and #7 x 1/2 in. screws) to secure the bracket to the wall. Ensure the screws are tightly fastened. 5. **Install the Shelf:** - Place the shelf on the bracket. - If necessary, secure the shelf to the bracket using screws to prevent it from moving. ### Important Notes: - **Weight Capacity:** Each pair of brackets can support up to 200 lbs, so ensure that the wall and screws can handle the load. - **Compatibility:** The bracket is compatible with wood, plastic, or metal shelving.
