The Knee Wall Bracket is sized in length tip to tip therefore, a 9 inch bracket is 9 inches from tip to tip. When determining lengths stay away from the outer edge of your countertop overhang by 2-4 inches and add the dimensions of the knee/pony wall also. Knee Wall Hidden Countertop Support Brackets Dimensions: The Knee Wall Support Bracket mounts on top of halfwalls to support extended countertop overhangs. Once installed this support bracket will be virtually invisible and protect your countertop from cracking when leaned on. This granite support is non intrusive while your countertop appears to be floating. The perfect concealed countertop overhang bracket for counter top support. Our Knee Wall Hidden Granite Support Bracket is the most popular bracket on the market. Only thing I did different was Rods into Wall Studs first, then Shelf over Rods, so there was no chance of Rods going further into Shelves than necessary.Hidden countertop supports for kitchen countertops are essential when protecting your granite or stone countertops. I agree with the Bar idea, did that for a Friend around 1986 using plain 12mm Rod, and the Shelves are still there today. Let cure for about a week before loading. Having marked studs and shelf, Drill holes and squirt in a bit of the love juice, Sikaflex, belt bars into shelf with hammer until fully housed, belt shelf mounted bars into studs, bend up or down if necessary until perfectly level, clean up excess sika from wall/shelf. 12mm def bar needs about a 13 +mm hole in timber IIRC. Just have to make sure the holes are drilled straight/level. A similar method for floating shelves 250mm - 300mm max is get some 12mm / 16mm deformed reinforcing bar, cut to length allowing to drill about 10mm shy of the depth of the studs and at least 100mm into shelf. Yep that's another good way of doing a bit lighter, narrower shelves. Ivan Yep that's another good way of doing a bit lighter, narrower shelves. Was thinking something along the lines of ![]() Im sure there is something around just a matter of finding them ,lol. the holes arnt big enough to use a big screw. Ty chaos, yeah i saw them bunnings, but not H/Duty enough. Or you could use figure 8's recessed into the top of wall cleat or bracket pre fixed then screwed up into top.

You could screw up through the bottom of the wall cleat into the bottom of benchtop = Alright if you have pre drilled cleats straight first then use an offset driver to get the screws in straight. Biscuit join=not really suitable but can be done.

Also wallmates or similar in plaster in conjunction with glue are ok for light to medium duty but anything in plaster is no guarantee. Can glue (liquid nails/sika) to plaster as well for places that can't be nailed. I'd also run a wall cleat of the same material or stain up something, sized around 42 x 19 or similar, along wall between these brackets, fixed to studs. The top screw is obviously hidden, the bottom visible only upon kneeling down. Don't do screws up too tight as it'll split the end grain. Ensure you drill a clearance hole starting as far from the end (30 odd mm)as the screw (75mm) will allow, Also countersink so head will be below surface. I'd also skew a good 12g x 75mm + screw in through the top and even bottom of the bracket. Might get lucky? Hidden fixings are always slow and steady jobs I find. ![]() Attach to studs only so chances are one of them won't be right at the end of the benchtop. Find biggest gauge screw available with a head that's not to big for brackets. That's a good idea, rebate them into the back of shelf bracket even if keen.
