IKEA/B&Q/Homebase?
Could you use more brackets than usual to give the support you needd, rather than v heavy duty ones?

CouldYouWouldYouWithaGoat · 08/09/2008 17:27

thanks pannacotta but they are v. heavy and industrial is the way forward. i am quite happy to go with industrial chic i just can' t fine any.

We got some massive shelf brackets from IKEA a few years ago.

www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60120127 This sort of thing - BRODER from Ikea

3.5m is an exceptionally long span? Would really recommend you divide it or the shelf will sag in the middle.

Never mind the brackets, are you sure your shelf/wall/wall fixings are strong enough?

CouldYouWouldYouWithaGoat · 08/09/2008 21:09

millarkie - broder would be perfect but is too big for the smaller shelves and too wee for the big one.

blithedance - sorry should have said length the brackets will be breaking the span.

think we will go with fugly white things from screwfix.

We have some heavy bookshelves on this kind of bracket

Called a Cantilever bracket - a bit tidier than those utility pressed-metal ones.
