Installation
Installation
Timber studs / Brick / Cement Walls
We recommend our Floating Shelves are installed by a
qualified Tradesman as they must be installed into timber wall studs, brick or cement to hold the weight. We supply metal rods and instructions for the install. A link to instructions are included on your confirmation email.
If you would like holes pre-drilled into your floating shelf
please leave us a note at checkout with the measurements you would like drilled (wall stud locations) or if your wall is brick or cement we don’t need ameasurements, we will drill them in proportion to the shelf size.
Please read the FAQs below for more information.
Steel studs
We do have a solution if your house is steel framed. The weight your wall will hold completely depends on the strength of your gyprock, a tradesperson will be able to advise. We sell brackets here and you can choose an option for them to be rebated into the shelf prior to them leaving our warehouse.

Please note different tradesman will install things
differently and may want to use different fixings depending on the position of the wall studs and if the studs are wooden or steel. The Timber Line do not take any responsibility for issues arising in the installation.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
The local installation fee is per shelf.

FAQ's
Do you do custom sizing and timbers?
Oh yes we sure do! Please submit a quote above via the custom quote dropdown or contact us here.
Do you provide all of the hardware required?
Yes, we provide metal rods for installation into timber wall studs and brick walls.
How long will my order take?
Please check the current production time above. Or you can contact us here
Can your timber floating shelf be installed into brick and tiles?
They certainly can. Our install method works perfectly for brick and they will drill right through tiles to your wall studs.
How do you install your floating shelf?
We recommend metal rods for install (which we supply). We use these as they hold the most amount of weight. Full instructions are included with your order. Once you place your order a link to view the instructions will be included in your confirmation email.
Are holes pre-drilled into the timber ready for install?
No, but they can be. We offer this service free of charge. Just leave us a note at checkout with the measuments you would like drilled (wall stud locations) or if your wall is brick we dont need any measurements, we will drill them in proportion to the shelf size.
How much weight do your timber floating shelf hold?
Up to 25kgs per every wall stud they are secured to. All of our standard shelf lengths require at least 2 rods installed, larger ones even more. So the smaller shelves will hold 50kg, bigger shelves more, it depends on the size you order.
Are the shelves varnished?
Yes, they sure are—twice. We use a top-grade, non-toxic varnish with a clear finish designed to preserve the natural look and raw feel of the timber. This varnish is also kitchen and bathroom grade, so it offers excellent durability while still being safe for your home.
The varnish is completely clear and colour-stable, meaning it protects the timber without altering its natural tones. We avoid oil-based finishes, as they tend to darken or yellow the timber, whereas our varnish keeps the wood looking true to its original colour.
All of our shelves go through the same careful sanding and varnishing process, however some grains will naturally be more coarse than others. This is simply the nature of timber and part of what makes each piece unique.
Why dont you always recommend traditional brackets?
We dont recommend the traditional brackets (the bar with the two poles attached) because they dont hold alot of weight. Most approx. 10kg per bracket. Our method will hold up to 25kg per rod installed. So if you use a minimum of two rods thats 50kgs minimum. However, this is only our recommendation and you can use the traditional bracket if you or your tradesperson prefers. It is also the only option for steel framed houses.
Can your shelves be used in a steel framed house
They can, but the install method is up to you are your tradesperson. The rods we supply and recommend are only for wooden framed homes and brick. But why? this comes down to weight. As our timber is solid, we want you to be able to store as much as you would like on your shelf without worrying about weight. It is still possible for steel framed homes to purchase our shelves (many do!) using a traditional bracket but it depends on the strength of your plaster, and not something we can comment on without actually inspecting your walls. A tradesperson will be able to help if you are unsure. If you would like to purchase our shelves but your house is steel framed, send us an email and we will help as much as we can to make it work for you.
Can you remove timber floating shelf?
It is possible, but its also dependent on the adhesive you use. But please bare in mind there will be holes left in the wall.
Can I order a timber sample?
You certainly can! Please head the the samples page to make your order.
Do you make corner shelving?
Yes, we certainly do! Please send us a custom enquiry with the size of the floating shelves you require and we will get back to you with pricing.
Can you create a rebate in my shelf for lighting?
For sure, please send us an enquiry with your measurements.

We were looking for some thick timber floating shelves and timberline had the best quality,best priced shelves. Their customer service was excellent and they cut the shelves to the required length so I consider that a fantastic service. Their shipping prices were very cheap and they shipped promptly.

This is my third Tasmania Oak shelf form The Timber Line, and I absolutely love their products. They Always look amazing when they arrive, I do pop a coloured varnish on them to match my Victoria Ash furnishings in the same room, but this is absolutely NOT necessary it’s only because I am slightly OCD (laughs)! If you are looking for amazing timber shelving I cannot recommend these business and their products any more! Do yourself a favour and don’t hesitate to buy one; I can’t wait until I need another thanks for another great product!!!

This is it 2nd purchase of a Tasmania Oak shelf and the quality is absolutely fantastic! I replaced a poor quality floating shelf with a Timber line Tassie oak shelf, which I varnished a little darker to match my timber bedroom suite, and it surpassed my expectations. I already have more purchases planned because the natural wood and the service of The Timber Line had been fantastic so far! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking at timber shelving options! A+
Brooke R. 5/5 Verified
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review — it honestly means a lot to us. We’re thrilled to hear the Tassie oak shelf exceeded your expectations and worked so beautifully with your bedroom suite (your custom finish sounds stunning!). Knowing our shelves are replacing lower-quality options and becoming long-term pieces in your home is exactly why we do what we do. We really appreciate your continued support and recommendation, and we can’t wait to help with your next purchases. Thanks again for choosing The Timber Line!
Absolutely fantastic service, postage was quick and the shelf arrived and was absolutely beautiful. I gave it a quick varnish/clear coat to match as close as possible to vic ash furniture in and around where it was installed and this just further enhanced the grain. It was perfect fit for my Lego Death Star. I’ve already ordered a second shelf and cannot wait to get that one installed!

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you were happy with the service, delivery, and the shelf itself.

Beautiful timber and sizing is great as well. For the price the pre drilled holes could have been vacuumed out so wood shavings and dust didn't go everywhere when I opened it but other than that, came as described

I bought these shelves for a new kitchen project. The shelves are solid oak and incredible quality.
