L brackets, also called angle brackets or builders brackets, are bent steel plates that join two parts at a right angle. They are used to fix timber posts, beams and joists, to mount shelves and frames, and to connect steel and timber in building and fitout work.
Linkworld supplies L brackets from 20 x 20 to 200 x 200 mm and 1 to 5 mm thick, in galvanised steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Leg lengths, width, thickness and hole pattern can be made to your drawing or sample, and we pack in bulk cartons or in your own branded packs.

Where L Brackets Are Used
- Timber framing posts, beams and joists at right angles
- Pergolas and decks beam and rafter connections
- Shelving and fitout shelf supports and frame corners
- Steel to timber brackets bolted to steel sections
- Furniture and joinery corner reinforcement
Choosing L Brackets
- Size and thickness: light brackets for fitout and joinery; thicker 4 to 5 mm brackets for posts and beams.
- Holes: small holes for nails and screws; larger holes for bolts.
- Finish: galvanised for general use; stainless for coastal or wet areas; aluminium for light, non-structural work.
- Rib: a stiffening rib reduces flex on heavier brackets.
Bracket selection for structural connections should follow the building design.
Common Purchasing Mistakes
Ordering by leg length only. Give the width, thickness and hole pattern as well.
Thin brackets for heavy connections. Posts and beams need thicker, bolted brackets.
Mixing galvanised and stainless fixings. Use fixings in the same material as the bracket.
One code for all sizes. Give each size and finish its own code.
