DIY Shelf Mounting: No Drilling, Just Nails — Looking for Feedback on Design
I’m working on a DIY shelf mounting solution that doesn’t require drilling, perfect for renters or anyone trying to avoid wall damage. The idea is to use a bracket that mounts with just a couple of nails driven at a 45° angle into drywall. No anchors or screws are required. So far, I’ve tested it with lighter items (under 5kg) and it held up fine, but I’ve run into an issue where the bracket’s metal bends before the drywall nails give out. I’ve ordered a new prototype with thicker metal to solve this and plan to test it with heavier items soon. Anyone worked on similar DIY shelf mounting ideas or have suggestions for improving this design? I’d love to hear your thoughts! submitted by /u/OriginalMadd [link] [comments]
