Pre-galvanised drywall brackets are the reliable choice for tying plasterboard dry lining systems back to the structural substrate behind them. Whether you are fixing to masonry walls, concrete soffits or timber joists, these brackets provide a firm, consistent connection that keeps the framing where it needs to be. Available in 195mm and 295mm lengths, so you can match the bracket to the depth of the system you are building out.
The pre-galvanised finish is not just there to look tidy. It gives the steel proper protection against corrosion, which matters when brackets end up in areas that see moisture, condensation or temperature swings — cold external walls being the obvious example. You are not going to get surface rust appearing before the plasterboard has even gone up.
Where Pre-Galvanised Drywall Brackets Fit Into the Job
These brackets are bent to shape on site, which is where the flat-length measurement becomes important. The 195mm bracket and the 295mm bracket are measured when flat, before forming. That is the figure you work from when calculating how much wall tie-back depth you have available. It is an easy thing to overlook when specifying off a data sheet, so it is worth keeping in mind from the start.
Dry lining is one of those jobs where having the right bracket in the right quantity saves a lot of unnecessary back-and-forth. A box of 100 covers a decent run of work and keeps things moving on site without the faff of running short halfway through a stud bay. The galvanised coating also means you are not working against any clock if the job gets paused for a few days — these will sit in a van or on a site without any issues.
Straightforward to fix, compatible with standard metal framing systems, and supplied in a sensible trade quantity. If you are lining out walls or ceilings and need a dependable bracket that does exactly what it is supposed to, these are the ones to reach for.
Pro Tip: Always measure and mark your bracket positions before bending, as once the galvanised steel is formed it is difficult to straighten cleanly without damaging the coating.
Drywall brackets are used throughout the dry lining trade to anchor metal stud framing and plasterboard systems back to solid substrates. They are commonly fitted when lining out internal masonry walls, forming independent wall linings, or creating framed ceiling systems tied to concrete soffits. Timber-framed structures also use them where additional tie-back points are needed between the framing and the structure. Particularly useful in commercial fit-outs, housing projects, and any situation where a direct fix to the substrate is not practical.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for external use or fully exposed wet environments where a hot-dip galvanised or stainless finish would be required. The flat-length measurement should not be confused with the finished formed depth, so always confirm the bracket size suits your system depth before ordering.
Mark out your fixing positions on the substrate before bending any brackets. The length stated is the flat measurement, so factor in the depth of your system when selecting the 195mm or 295mm option. Bend the bracket to the required angle on site using appropriate metal forming tools or a firm edge.
Fix one leg to the structural substrate using suitable fixings for the material, whether that is masonry anchors, concrete screws or timber fixings. The other leg ties into the metal stud or framing channel. Make sure the bracket is seated flush and secure before continuing with the frame build-out.
- Select the correct bracket length based on your system depth, remembering the size refers to the bracket measured flat before forming
- Mark fixing positions on the substrate at the required centres for your dry lining specification
- Bend the bracket to the required angle using a firm edge or appropriate metal forming tool
- Fix the substrate leg to the masonry, concrete or timber using fixings appropriate to the material
- Attach the framing leg to the metal stud or channel, ensuring the bracket holds the frame at the correct distance from the wall
- Check alignment across multiple brackets before proceeding with board installation
What does the stated length refer to on these drywall brackets?
The length refers to the bracket measured flat, before it is bent into shape on site. So a 195mm bracket is 195mm when laid out straight. Once formed, the usable depth will be less than that figure, depending on the angle you bend it to. Always account for this when specifying the bracket for your system depth.
Can these brackets be used on concrete soffits as well as masonry walls?
Yes. These brackets are suitable for fixing dry lining frames to masonry walls, concrete soffits and timber joists. Use fixings appropriate to the substrate — concrete screws or expansion anchors for masonry and concrete, standard timber screws or nails for joists.
Why pre-galvanised rather than plain steel?
Pre-galvanised steel offers a decent level of corrosion resistance, which is useful when brackets are installed behind wall linings on cold external walls or in areas prone to condensation. It also means they will not start to surface rust if stored on site or in a van for a few days before use.
Manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, these drywall brackets provide corrosion resistance suitable for internal dry lining applications. The galvanised coating is applied to the steel before forming, giving consistent coverage across the bracket. Supplied in a box of 100, available in two flat lengths, 195mm and 295mm, to suit different system depths. Designed to be bent to shape on site, making them adaptable to varying substrate distances.
