Likewise, which end of bracket goes on wall?The long part goes against the wall, under the shelf. The length of the actual bracket under the shelf should be three quarters the width of the shelf.One may also ask, how much can a shelf overhang a bracket? If your studs are spaced 24 inches apart, plan to attach a standard to each stud. Shelves should overhang the side brackets by no more than 6 inches. Consequently, can you use shelf brackets upside down? The top-most screw holding the bracket in would be supporting the most weight. If the bracket was upside down, all the weight would be going straight down. The corner of the bracket would be a fulcrum point and the angled piece would then be pulling all the weight out from the wall.How many brackets do I need for a shelf?Supporting brackets for most shelves should be spaced no more than 24 inches apart for light to medium loads (15 to 20 pounds per foot). This means that the vertical slotted pilasters must be spaced at about that distance from one another on the wall.
