Size & Quantity Guide?
What Size Bracket Should I Use?
- NOTE: Ideally you want no more than 3" of unsupported countertop extending past the end of your bracket.
- Example: If your countertop overhang is 19” Deep (19” – 3” = 16”) You’d want to go with an 16” x 12” Bracket
- Our brackets are listed as follows, depth x height measurements
- Example: 10” x 8” Bracket
- 10” would be supporting your material (horizontally or depth)
- 8” would be mounted to the wall (vertically or height)
- 10” would be supporting your material (horizontally or depth)
- Example: 10” x 8” Bracket
How Many Brackets Do I Order?
- These countertop support brackets are typically spaced 16 - 24 inches apart, or 1 bracket on each framing stud.
- To figure out how many brackets you need lets start with 2 brackets at each end of the countertop set 4" - 6" inches in from the edge.
- Now measure the distance between the 2 end brackets and use the following formula:
- (Distance Between) divided by/ (desired bracket spacing).
- Example 76 / 16 = 4.75, so you need 4 more brackets to support the space left between the two end brackets.
- Here is an example using a real countertop installation:
- An 84" wide countertop with 2 brackets set 4 inches from the end would leave you with 76" left to support; (84" - 8" = 76"). Now take 76" divided by / 16" = 4.75, So you would need 4 more brackets for the space left giving you a total of 6 brackets for this project.
- For a countertop overhang spanning 84" wide with 2 brackets set in 4" from either side and a 16" span between brackets, you would order 6 brackets total. 2 end brackets and 4 to support the remaining 76" span.

Reviews
Outstanding Product
"I am from Canada but these countertop brackets show exactly why goods Made in the US are often superior to overseas. These are exceptionally well made, thick and strong. There is no countertop these won't support. Nice white powdercoat finish too so we didn't need to paint."
Reception area update
"I was looking for a type of bracket that clean, did not have to have a triangle type arrangement to get it's strength and be strong to resist the amount of people that would lean on the shelf being supported. These brackets have more than surpassed our requirements."
Great product
"They performed very well to hold up a long wood countertop overhang I installed in a coffee shop. The install was easy and looks seamless for the finished product."
Great Quality and Price
"The only his product is made very well and is a good value for the price."
Strong brace weak screws
"The quality of the angle bracket we purchased was fantastic. However the screws that came with it easily sheered off. If they supplied stronger screws it would be perfect. Thanks"

Q&A
- Do you make 25" deep brackets? (my floating desk will be 28" deep x 84" wide. Can the mounting holes be bigger than .27"? Maybe big enough to fit a 3/8" lag screw into? Thank you.
- Hi Richard. The hole diameter on our Standard Front Mount Countertop L Bracket is 1/4". At this time, the Standard Front Mount Countertop L Bracket is available in sizes up to 20" deep. However, we may be able to accommodate a custom size for your project. For customization options, please contact us at hello@ironsupports.com with your project details, and our team will be happy to discuss the possibilities with you. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We’re happy to help.
- In a raised bar context, where the "supported" part of the counter is on top of a knee wall (we could do 2x4 or 2x6 per your guidance), do these brackets provide enough support to the bulk of the weight for a 10" overhang? Thank you!
- Yes, the Standard Front Mount Countertop L Bracket is designed to provide substantial support for a raised bar overhang. For a 10" overhang, the bracket will provide more than enough support when properly installed into a structurally sound knee wall. We recommend using either a 2x4 or 2x6 knee wall, with the brackets spaced approximately 16" to 24" apart, depending on the countertop material and overall span. With proper installation, the brackets will support the majority of the load from the overhang, helping to prevent sagging or deflection.
- Can these brackets be mounted to concrete walls using concrete bolts? Size of the hole? I have leftover wall molding, and outdoor siding to store from a new house build. Some of the siding is 18' long. I would put up 4 of the brackets to store the siding, probably 14" X 10" brackets. Will thewse brackets work for stated purpose on basement concrete walls?
- Yes, these brackets can be mounted to concrete walls using appropriate concrete anchors (typically 3/8" bolts). Using four 14" x 10" brackets should work for storing your siding, as long as they are properly spaced and securely installed to support the weight. Let us know if you need further details!
- If I cutout the drywall to mount the bracket directly to the studs can I mud back over the brackets with joint compound to hide them? Will the joint compound adhere to the metal? Saw it in one of the inspo pictures... Thanks!
- Hi Jesse. Yes, you can mount the brackets directly to the studs and then apply joint compound over them to achieve a seamless look, as shown in some of our inspiration photos. The joint compound will adhere to the metal surface, allowing you to finish and paint over it for a smooth appearance. Please ensure the brackets are securely installed and level before applying the compound for best results.
- Do these come in white?
- Yes, the Standard Front Mount Countertop L Bracket is available in white.
