Shed build question

Multimonti from screwfix work well. Drill a hole and screw in. Easy

Basically a 2 part glue. Think araldite on steroids.

Lots of different types around,most come in a tube like silicon and mix themselves as you squirt them out. Just drill a hole, blow out the dust,inject the dunk and and push in the fixing of your choice.

I use threaded bar most of the time as you can just cut the right length to go through your post and them into the stone/block/brick, a lot easier than trying to find a fixing the right length to go through a 6" post and then I to the wall.

Lots on tool station, I generally use the cheapest but then I'm a cheapskate😁

Toolstation > Screws & Fixings > Chemical Fixings

 

Oh BTW once you've used a nozzle once and its set in the nozzle then you have to throw it away so best to get some spares and try and prepare all the holes before you start injecting.

 

Cheers for the help, I think this is the best way to go I reckon as I can just buy a length of bar and some grip fill and then I can basically go from there!

I take it you just tighten up a nut to the sole plate afterwards then?

Nah not Grip fill use a styrene free resin like here Toolstation > Screws & Fixings > Chemical Fixings > Fischer FIP 300 SF Styrene Free Resin

Also either used all galv or bzp or all stainless never mix zinc/galv and stainlees

What he said 👆

Not grip fill but chemical anchor/fixing (whatever you want to call it)

Ok cheers guys,

 

How deep do you reckon i should put the threaded bar into the brickwork? I'm using bricks not cement blocks if that is any help.

Would just into the first course be alright?

Iv used car filler (the type you mix with hardener) to fix gate hangings into a granite gatepost, Mega strong and a 12ft wooden gate is still hanging of it a few years later, hole was drilled about 2-3 inches deep, filled it with filler, put in the hanger and pack round with more filler, leave 20 mins to harden- job done.

It works out much cheeper than these other branded chemical anchors I have found and is much the same thing.

Like a few have said chemichial anchor i am building a lean to and fixed 4 brackets to the concreate in my yard to hold the bottom of 10 by 10 cms uprights drilled holes in went the anchor glupe and threaded bar 100mm long bolted brackets down 10 min later no worries ot going anywhere good luck with your shed

Cheers mark

One thing to remember with chemical anchor is that ambient temperature can vary the drying time immensely, in summer it is minutes in winter I usually come back the next day.
