resin anchor

[Fencing]

Hi, ive got to put a low fence on top of a stone wall. There is already an existing fence bolted down on part of the fence using shield anchors and bolt down met posts.

I dont like the look of some of the stone for the new bit of fence so wanted to use resin, threaded bar and met posts. Anybody got a prefered make/ supplier of resins, tips, how much would be needed??? (there is about 24 holes/bar to do)

I bought some from screw fix to fix in some gate hinges into a stone gate post. I was going to lead them in but decided to try resin instead.

 

Boy does it work well, it has a 14 ft gate hung on it and it is solid, I reckon stronger than leading it in.

 

I,ll see if I can recognise which one I used and let you know

I'v used resin in a crumbly block wall, sleeve anchors were just bursting the blocks. Amazing stuff, but the holes have to be scrupulously clean and dust free.

Here we go, expensive but worth it. This size uses the standard silicone gun whereas the bigger one needs an applicator gun specifically for this tube

Can't remember which I used but it was a very similar system.

I think I might have bought the bigger one and pushed it out with some fat wooden doweling

Agghh, the fat dowling, essential tool. thanks lads

I have leaded them in the past but used resin when it came out years ago from Hilti, it is great stuff and Hilti does a kit. IMHO it is much better than any cheaper Screwfix stuff and you get what you pay for in this case.

if you think it expensive compared to Screwfix........... It's a bit like Husqvarna & Stihl compared to Nutool & Ryobi chainsaws !

fichers-think that is how you spell it ,we use it all the time just remember it mixes in the nozzle so will set in it if left for a few minutes best have all the holes clean and ready and do them all at one time and as said before holes must be clean blown out and drilled a couple of mm bigger to allow enough of the resin to come back up the side of the stud
