Have need for shelves to hang on tilt-up concrete (not block) wall. Must be
sturdy, but don't want supports at the corners. I'm thinking about some kind
of triangular bracket anchored either from above (which holds a plank inside
the bottom of the triangle) or from the back side (for which a plank would
sit on the top of the inverted triangle):

(key: = is the plank)

Haven't been able to locate such locally (want to do this over the weekend
upcoming).

Basically I want no forward supports, just wall attachments with some kind of
diagonals.

Other ideas?

Thanks,

If you mean those 3/4-inch wide slotted tracks with 1/8-inch thick brackets,
IME, they're OK for books and brick-a-brack, but insufficient strength (I've
bent the "arms" and broken a few tabs in my time) for "industrial" use.

Get the Industrial Strength double wide tracks and brackets. They carry a
large load.

Not to mention, they are adjustable and not an eye-sore like wood
brackets would be.
