Liverbird81 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Well guys I'm finally taking the plunge and starting my lay out. It's going in my garage and was wondering the best type & size of screw to use to hold the wooden frame to concrete Quote
0 Glenderg Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 What size are the timbers and what depth is the concrete? Quote
0 Dave Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 You need the screw to go into the concrete about 40mm and add the thickness of the timber to it. Use 5mm dia screw with a red wall plug, the hole size in the concrete is 5.5mm. The screw is over size for this plug but it will give a very strong anchor to the wall. So if your timber is 30mm thick you will need 5 x 70 screws. This method is great for load bearing and won't fail. Quote
