Breakfast Bar - no legs

It's more than enough, as long as you don't lean on it.

I would say no way, well at least I wouldn't be happy using this method.
WOI

 

Its the cantilever effect of leaning on the end that is the problem

I wouldnt trust it long term. 2 legs would make a big difference.

But wait for more opinions

 

Its not the strength of the brackets that matter, its how you fix them to the wall; the cantilever effect of someone leaning on the edge will tend to pull out the fixings; perhaps rawl bolts will do it, but I'd prefer to have some additional support, maybe at the ends?

 

C

Decorative but strong chain support from ceiling ?

Batten wont stop the cantilever but would help, especially if well secured to top and wall

 

What's the wall construction?

 

Use 4 brackets, fix them well, tell the wife not to sit on it

 

This bracket would offer more support putting the 500mm on the wall, it would take somebody literally sitting on it to pull it out the wall if you fix it using thunderbolts.

Get two or three support brackets made, say 380mm x 500mm at local metalworkers.

 

You could try these 400mm and erm cheaper ....

Put in 4

 

I would even use coach screws for fixing to wall,better than a woodscrew.

 

It's not going to work unless you cantilever a beam out of the wall

 

As it's only 400 deep and 1500 long, a couple of decent brackets, 2x1 batten along the back edge, then it should be fine. Plug and screw batten and put a spot of Stixall or similar on it so it is really solid to the wall. Use 80mm screws for brackets and plugs. At the end of the day, it's basically a big shelf so as long as you don't sit on it, then it ain't going nowhere!

 

If he has sprogs, they will sit on it.

 

It's going to droop or be pulled off the first time someone leans on it, bad idea.

 

Thunderbolts, coach screws should be ample.
