When installing our products, we have a few tips and tricks that we have learned over the years. At this time, we do not supply or sell mounting hardware. We never know what material our clients are mounting to and would hate to send out the wrong screws/bolts needed. See below for our suggestions!
We always suggest mounting our products to studs, stone, or brick. In the cases you are not able to mount to these materials using toggle bolts, mollies, or anchors is an alternative option for installation.
Brackets with support bars:
We understand the spacing behind the supports can be tight. It is best to mark and predrill your wall. Using hex head lag bolts, you can put the bolt in the bracket off the wall. With a wrench or socket you can walk the bracket into the wall until it is secure.
Instructions on How To Hang A Heavy Shelf
Note: If you are unsure about your ability to install the shelf safely, hiring a professional or seeking guidance from a hardware store may be best.
To ensure a secure installation, it is important to use the correct size and type of hardware for the specific wall material and to follow the weight limits recommended by the manufacturer. Additionally, it is important to use a level to ensure the bracket is installed straight and secure. By following these guidelines, you can safely and securely install your shelf or mantel bracket for years of use.
The materials you will need to hang a shelf include:
Optional materials that may be helpful include anchors and a hammer.
You may need anchors and a hammer to hang a heavy shelf if you are unable to attach the shelf bracket or cleat directly to a stud in the wall. Anchors can provide additional support by distributing the weight of the shelf across a larger area of the wall. A hammer may be necessary to tap the anchors into place. However, it is important to note that using anchors does not guarantee the shelf's stability and weight capacity, and it is always best to follow manufacturer instructions and seek professional advice if needed.

Farm Co. began with a simple goal: for me (Kristy) to stay home with our daughters while earning some extra income. I started off by picking antiques, working with reclaimed wood, crafting wreaths and farmhouse decor to sell on Etsy.
Tyler built my first shiplap backdrop to take pictures for our Etsy listings in our garage. Our girls have always been involved with helping us out. When we started the girls were so young. Here they are 5 and 3 helping me paint the backdrop in our garage.
Our first prototypes. Tyler has worked as a fabricator at his family's business since he was a teen. After these were made our designs, ideas, and creations took off!
Launching Industrial Farm Co. has been an incredibly rewarding journey. Working together every day, connecting with customers across the USA, and crafting pieces that are displayed in homes and businesses worldwide is truly humbling. We feel grateful to do what we love each day!
We keep growing, improving, learning... We added a plasma table to our fold this year. With that we are able to do some new decorative brackets, coat racks, signs...options are endless. Keep checking back in for updates to the website and new products!
