- a bracket configured to be attached to the structure, the bracket including:
- a back panel having opposite front and rear faces;
- a connecting member extending from the back panel in a generally forward direction, the connecting member defining a recess adjacent a front end of the connecting member and extending to a bottom of the connecting member, the recess having an outwardly oriented edge defining an upper boundary of the recess, the edge formed at an angle relative to a front of the connecting member enlarging a front end of the recess;
- and
- a support attachment member at least partially disposed within the recess, the support attachment member defining an upwardly oriented hook defining a support securing surface and a seat, the seat oriented opposite the edge;
- and
- a veneer support configured to be attached to the bracket by the support attachment member and positioned in the seat, the veneer support configured to be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer.
A facade support bracket for holding a veneer support having a mounting flange and a support flange, and being constructed to support a veneer on a structure, the facade support bracket comprising:
- a back panel having opposite front and rear faces;
- a connecting wall extending from the back panel in a generally forward direction, the connecting wall defining a recess adjacent a front end of the connecting wall;
- and
- a support attachment member at least partially disposed within the recess and configured to attach the veneer support to the facade support bracket within the recess of the connecting wall, the support attachment member defining an upwardly oriented hook defining a support securing surface and a seat,
- wherein the connecting wall defines an overhang extending outwardly beyond the support attachment member.
