National Hardware N218-917 Steel Shelf Bracket 6x8 Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N218-917 is a steel shelf bracket designed for heavy-duty storage applications in closets, garages, and sheds. Built with a girder-like internal construction, this bracket delivers exceptional load-bearing strength relative to its compact size. It measures 6 inches by 8 inches and is sized to fit standard dimensional lumber widths, making it straightforward to pair with off-the-shelf boards. Six screw holes per bracket provide a secure, stable mount to wall studs or solid backing surfaces. Licensed contractors, finish carpenters, and experienced DIYers install this bracket as part of utility and organizational shelving systems.

This bracket is suited for residential and light commercial storage builds. Typical applications include closet shelving organizers, garage wall storage, shed interior shelving, and utility room installations. The black finish blends with standard painted or powder-coated shelving hardware. Because the bracket is sized to standard lumber widths, installers can use common dimensional boards without cutting or custom fitting.

Ensure all brackets on a single shelf run are level before final tightening.
