Brackets

Brackets for hanging baskets that take the weight seriously - from neat scroll designs to heavy-duty workhorses, with honest ratings on every one.

What are brackets for hanging baskets?

Match the bracket to the watered weight of the basket, not the empty weight. A planted 35cm basket can top 10kg, so use a wall bracket rated above that and fix it into sound brick with proper plugs. The bracket arm should be longer than the basket's radius so it hangs clear of the wall.

About our brackets

Here is the unglamorous truth about hanging baskets: the bracket does the real work. A freshly watered 14 inch basket can weigh over 10kg, swinging in the wind on two screws - so brackets for hanging baskets deserve more thought than they usually get. This collection covers the lot. Classic scroll brackets in black steel for traditional doorways; clean modern straight-arm designs; and heavy duty brackets with extended arms and reinforced welds for large baskets and exposed, windy positions. Every product page states the safe working load in plain kilograms, plus the arm length you need for your basket size - a 14 inch basket wants at least a 12 inch arm so it hangs clear of the wall. Buying hanging baskets and brackets together? Match the bracket rating to the basket's planted weight, not its empty weight, and fix into brick or a fence post with proper screws and plugs, all covered in our fixing guide. Do the ten-minute job properly and it holds for a decade. Plenty of customers order hanging baskets with brackets in one go - pick the basket, add a bracket rated above its planted weight, and everything arrives together. Free UK delivery over £20, money-back guarantee on every bracket.

FAQs

Brackets – your questions

What are brackets for hanging baskets?

How much weight can a hanging basket bracket hold?

It varies by design, which is why we print the safe working load on every product page. Our standard scrolls carry around 10kg; the heavy-duty range carries 20kg and more, enough for a large planted basket in wind.

What size bracket do I need for my basket?

The arm should be at least as long as your basket's radius plus a couple of inches of clearance - so a 14 inch basket needs a 12 inch arm or longer to hang clear of the wall. If you are pairing a new hanging basket with bracket to match, size the arm first and the rest follows.

What fixings should I use?

Into brick or block: the supplied screws with wall plugs, into the brick rather than the mortar line. Into timber: coach screws straight into a post. Never rely on render or fence panels alone.

How do I fix a bracket to a brick wall?

Hold the bracket level, mark the holes, drill into the face of a brick rather than the mortar joints, insert wall plugs and drive the screws home fully. Give it a firm pull before hanging anything. On rendered walls, use longer screws that reach the solid brick behind.

What height should a bracket be fixed at?

Around 1.8 to 2 metres suits most doorways: high enough that nobody clips their head, low enough that the display sits near eye level. Allow for the drop of the chains and any trailing stems before you drill.
