Shrinking the Base Plate to 1.5" or 1.75"

9 years ago
Hello! I need to order between 6 and 9 of these awesome rods, in the 6" variety (for 10" deep shelves) - but need the base plate to be smaller. My shelf thickness is just shy of 2" on the beams I am using and I want to hide the entire base plate. Is it possible to have the base plates reduced in size on the order I put through? If so, how do I go about doing so?

Thanks!

    Josh:

    Go ahead and order the 6" brackets. I will convert the work order to a 1.75" high back plate for you.

      Thanks Stevie!

      I appreciate you cutting them down to size! Just ordered 6 of them, because I realized we are actually only going to do 3 shelves...and each span will only be 33"...so I think the best I can do when mounting these to the studs is 2 per shelf. Is that correct?

      How much weight can I expect these to safely hold with a 10" deep shelf that's 2" thick and 33" long?

      Thanks!

      Josh:

      A shelf that size will weigh approximately 15 lbs. Each bracket has a safe weight of 25 lbs. so your top safe shelf weight will be around 35 lbs. We will ship your brackets out in the morning.

      Thanks,

      Stevie
