Cheaper doll hanging brackets

For anyone cheap or "budget minded" like myself I found these two heavy L-type wall hanging brackets for only $14.00 US per pair with free shipping. They are actually very heavy duty shelf and / or counter installation brackets and they say they support 1200 lbs per pair. Probably the high end estimate but I figure each one could easily handle a doll. Drill one hole in the end and UR in biz. They provide 12" clearance from the wall.

Or, for slightly more, this one is already drilled...A little over $20 with shipping. Says they hold 500 lbs each.

Both are much cheaper than a heavy bag hanging bracket. Those start at around $ 90 US and go up to over $ 200

nice finding Mob, and yes, they are a lot more cheap than a punching bag bracket,

search on ebay usa, in the mexican ebay you cound find Punching brackets starting 30 usd. they come with all needed to assemble.

if you put shelf brackets dont forget to use this things to secure in the wall:

i dont know the name in english, but they are great , I use only one and a swivel in the ceiling to hang a 20kg doll .

hey Mexdol,

Yeah a Bag hanging bracket for $30 is a great price. I personally do not like buying from ebay ads as I had a bad experience in the past but if UR comfortable with it that's a great price and sounds like a great option as well.

BTW when you said - "if you put shelf brackets don't forget to use this things to secure in the wall:"

Where did you get that thing and what is it? I can't tell by looking at the pic how you would use that?

Thank you

Mob

looks like a wall bolt that expands, you will need to find the wall stud and drill into it with just a wee bigger drill bit then the bolt sleeve, tighten it down. or it might go into a metal wall stud. not sure? go to your local hardware store with the pic on your phone to find out

Mex and Mob ... that's an expanding bolt/anchor used to mount stuff where there is no wall stud to screw into. You drill a hole just big enough to slip the end through, tighten the nut and the cone thingy on the end will pull towards the nut and push out/"expand" the sides and grip/grab against the drilled hole.

This one looks to be for concrete/masonry walls/floors. I've used similar looking bolts to mount a free standing sink on a concrete wall and also anchor wall studs to concrete.

Cheers,
