I would like to install shelves that are 24″ deep, but the biggest shelf brackets I can find are 16″. Does anyone make them larger? If so, where can I find them? I am thinking of the brackets shaped like “L’s” with 3 screws going into the wall and 3 screws going into the shelf.

Get the 16" brackets and mount a 23" or so hardwood 1x? strip to them to extend their length realtive to the shelving. Also you can make your own brackets with 1x stock pretty easily that look like the store bought ones in shape. Hope that you can use some help from walls by using cleats attatched to them securely also as these shelves will be capable of quite a bit of weight! Also use at least 3/4 inch shelf material and a stile every four feet or less.
