Why it works
Why a stiffener rather than another bracket
Stops the sag mid-span
The bending happens in the middle of the shelf, and that is where a 25mm deep section does the most good.
Out of sight
It sits under the shelf, so a bay looks the same from the front as it did before.
No rebuild needed
Fitting a stiffener is quicker than adding an upright and a third bracket, and it does not change the shelf spacing.
Works on a bay that has already dropped
A shelf that has started to bow can be unloaded, stiffened and put back rather than replaced.
Overview
The fix for a shelf that bows
Bracket ratings describe what the bracket will hold, not what the shelf will do between them. Put a metre of board on two brackets and load it with tins or files and the middle drops long before either bracket is troubled. The usual answers are a third bracket or a thicker shelf, and both mean redoing the bay. A stiffener fixed up into the underside adds the depth where the bending happens and leaves the bay as it is.

Frequently asked questions
What does a shelf stiffener actually do?
What does a shelf stiffener actually do?
It stops the shelf bowing between the brackets. The brackets carry the load at each end, but the shelf itself has to span the gap, and a board shelf will bend in the middle under dense stock well before the brackets reach their rating.
How long is it?
How long is it?
1000mm, in a 70mm wide by 25mm deep folded section.
How does it fix on?
How does it fix on?
It runs along the underside of the shelf and fixes up into it through the pre-drilled hole. It is not fixed to the brackets or the uprights.
Will it show from the front?
Will it show from the front?
No, it sits under the shelf. On an open bay you would see it from below if you looked up, but it is not visible from the front of the bay.
Can I fit one to a shelf that has already sagged?
Can I fit one to a shelf that has already sagged?
Yes, and that is a common use. Take the load off, let the shelf come back as far as it will, fit the stiffener and reload. A shelf that has been badly overloaded for a long time may have taken a permanent set.
Do I need one per shelf?
Do I need one per shelf?
On most spans, one along the middle of the shelf is enough. A very wide or very heavily loaded shelf may want two, or a third bracket instead.
Will it work with a shelf shorter than 1000mm?
Will it work with a shelf shorter than 1000mm?
It is a fixed 1000mm length, so on a shorter shelf it would overhang. Tell us the shelf size and we will check what fits before you order.
