NOTE: Ideally you want no more than 3" of unsupported countertop extending past the end of your bracket. Now, lets figure out what size bracket you need. Take the depth of your countertop overhang, in this example we will use a 15" overhang. Now add the depth of your knee or pony wall framing, which will be 4" to 6" depending on framing material used. 15" overhang + 4" framing = 19" total depth. Now take 19" and subtract 3", this is the amount of countertop that will overhang past the end of these brackets. This is what that math looks like: (15" + 4") - 3" = 16" Results: You would want to order a 16" bracket. How Many Brackets Do I Order? If you are going to be mounting these to a framed Knee or Pony wall it is advised that you put one bracket on top of each stud 16 - 24" apart. So you would order the same number of brackets as you have studs in the framing under your countertop. If you are mounting these to a header like on a reinforced cabinet base we advise you still mount them either 16 or 24 inches apart. Lest calculate the number of bracket you would need if you are mounting them to a header style framing. To figure out how many brackets you need lets start with 2 brackets at each end of the countertop set 4" - 6" inches in from the edge. Now measure the distance between the 2 end brackets and use the following formula: (Distance Between) divided by/ (desired bracket spacing). Example 76 / 16 = 4.75, so you need 4 more brackets to support the space left between the two end brackets. Here is an example using a real countertop installation: An 84" wide countertop with 2 brackets set 4 inches from the end would leave you with 76" left to support; (84" - 8" = 76"). Now take 76" divided by / 16" = 4.75, So you would need 3 more brackets for the space left giving you a total of 6 brackets for this project. For a countertop overhang spanning 84" wide with 2 brackets set in 4" from either side and a 16" span between brackets, you would order 6 brackets total. 2 end brackets and 4 to support the remaining 76" span.
