I have 2 18H x 24W heart that just came in from gemini. They are 1" deep with the acrylic post/pad mounts.
I will be need to sandwich them together and mount them 90 degrees to a brick wall.
I would like the bracket to be as visually hidden as possible. They would need to be non swinging, non spinning (although I think that would be a cool attention getter).
I have a plan, but I don't want to influence what I'm doing to see where the creative minds here take us.
So If you have a minute, throw in. Thanks, Mike

1/4" metal rod comes to mind. Something small but strong. ????

Rather than any visual hanging bracket, two metal rods inside the hearts, mounted to the wall by means of a welded metal plate. Bill

The side of the heart would be against the wall with the barest amount of the rods visable. That is how I would do it. Bill

Great ideas. Nevman was on the path I was. Our diagrams were very much the same.
I'll be cutting an opening in the hearts, silicone to the brackets, seal with acrylic bond, and fill with expanding foam. Last, I'll drill a small hole for drainage.
My idea was to modify a scroll bracket, but I have a welder making them from scratch. Cheers!
