Abstract: The invention comprises a simple adjustable backing board bracket for supporting items to be suspended including overhead or bottom kitchen cabinets, plumbing accessories such as wall sinks, soap dishes, toilet paper holders, shower heads, pipe hangers, and such other items as curtain rods, electrical panel boxes, circuit breaker boxes and the like. The bracket comprises two interfitting and telescoping members and a fiber member insert that provide length adjustment to conform to various wall stud and/or ceiling rafter spacings. The three members are locked together by self-drilling, self-tapping metal screws that are used to attach items to be suspended to the bracket. Flat mounting tabs are provided at each end of the bracket and the mounting tabs may be bent at various angles to conform to the various surfaces to which the bracket is to be mounted.
