Rustic Shelf Brackets Scaffold Board Bracket x 2 Heavy Duty Industrial UK

Product Information

We screwed the brackets straight through the plasterboard into the breezeblock of the new extension using very long, very strong screws. Next, apply some wood glue* to the join and screw your pieces together one at a time, using your clamps as a third hand. First, I measured the tallest item that I knew I wanted to include on the shelves (a glass water jug). In this photo, you can see the metal strip on the left of the bottom shelf (it’s on the right on the middle shelf).

I requested boards that were nicely battered but not falling apart, and that’s exactly what was delivered. Once the glue has dried, you can lightly sand your brackets with a sander, then prime and paint them.Now we finally have electricity in our victorian cellar, we can actually start to properly use the space! I’ve used some 120-grit sandpaper for this and then finished with a coloured coat in the colour ‘Peacock’ from Ronseal Garden’s Range*.

One of the questions I get asked most frequently is where we bought the rustic shelves and industrial metal supports in our kitchen, so here’s a post explaining where they came from and how we installed them. DIY Content: We’re not builders or experts in the trade industry, so please take any information on this blog as a rough guide and just our own experiences. We’re using new scaffold boards (as opposed to used ones) for this project, however, it means they currently lack any character. Top tip – to save money on small projects like this, use tester-pots of paint rather than forking out on full-sized tins!As these brackets are made by hand all measurements are approximate, but will be as close as possible to the above. Once we’d cut our boards to size, I gave them a light sanding and then applied a thin layer of oil using a paintbrush. The general technique I use is to brush the wax on with a paintbrush, leave it to soak in for about 20 minutes, and then buff it off using a special attachment for our power drill.
