The Simpson CF-R Concrete Form Angle is a 16-gauge steel shelf bracket and reinforcing angle from Simpson built for projects where a moderate-size bracket is needed to strengthen the connection between a vertical wall and a horizontal surface. Whether you are supporting shelves, counters, or window ledges around the home, or bracing concrete forms on a tilt-up construction site, this angle bracket handles both roles with confidence. Thoughtful nail-hole placement and a durable Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish make it a practical, long-lasting choice for DIY repairs and professional forming applications alike.

Key Features

• Moderate-size shelf bracket geometry - sized to support shelves, counters, and window ledges without over-engineering the connection, keeping installations clean and efficient.
• Compatible with tilt-up perimeter concrete forming - serves double duty as a concrete form support angle, giving contractors a single connector that transitions between structural and forming tasks.
• Nail-hole placement engineered for reuse - when deployed in tilt-up perimeter forming, the hole layout preserves bracket integrity through repeated cycles, reducing material costs on multi-pour projects.
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the rigidity and load capacity expected of a structural connector, making it dependable for moderate-load shelf and reinforcing angle applications.
• Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating - provides extra corrosion resistance so the bracket holds up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern, extending service life.
• Suited for DIY and home repair projects - straightforward design means homeowners can install it confidently alongside professionals for a wide range of general repair and improvement tasks.

Why This Product

• Two products in one - the CF-R functions as both a shelf bracket for everyday framing needs and a concrete form angle for tilt-up construction, so buyers get genuine versatility from a single connector rather than sourcing separate hardware for each task.
• Built-in cost savings on forming jobs - the intentional nail-hole placement is designed specifically to ensure substantial reuse during tilt-up perimeter forming, meaning the bracket earns its keep across multiple pours instead of being a single-use expendable.
• Simpson Strong-Tie engineering behind the design - this connector is part of the Simpson line of structural connectors trusted by builders to make projects stronger and safer, so buyers are not guessing at quality or performance.
• Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized coating means the bracket resists rust and degradation over time, protecting the investment whether the connector lives in a damp basement, a garage, or an outdoor ledge application.
