0 Glenderg Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 What size are the timbers and what depth is the concrete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dave Posted September 23, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
