A 25mm washer between wood and coach-bolt head will give a better distribution of pressure onto wood. A well made video with good directions. Well done!

This is such a useful video. I have already used it to fix upright metal verticals to support a lattice fence on a garden wall. And I’m using it again today to work out how best to fix the oak timbers Ive had cut, to make a fireplace surround. This latter project needs to look good, as well as fix tightly and safely, so I’m going to set the bolts a little deeper than you suggest, and find another video to teach me how to make oak dowels to cover the bolt head and blend with the timber. I’ve also got to be very careful not to split or crack the old bricks. Thanks for a very practical video - and for covering the “do I drill into brick or mortar?” issue, which I had wondered about. I really appreciate the no-nonsense presentation. I loathe the music, logos, and usual nonsense in so many folks’ channels these days. I hope your channel goes from strength to strength.

It’s worth mentioning that if you are going to measure the depth of hole be certain that the screw or bolt will fit. If you only drill the depth of the plug then sometimes you will have problems with longer fixings. Great video 😊

@emmabird9745 Год назад

Great video again. I've found that I can't hold a long bit of wood sready enough to reliably mark all the holes at once. I've "missed" on some too often. What I do is mark and drill the first hole and attach the batten. Then mark the rest while the batten is firmly held, remove the batten (or some times just slacken and turn it out the way) then drill the rest. I get a better sucess rate that way. Also, when finally fixing the batten I loosely fit all the bolts first so I can move it to get the other three in without problems before tightening them all. For drilling, you do not necessarily need and SDS drill, but you do need a hammer drill with a masonary bit. It is true that, with larger bits in a Jacobs chuck can slip, but it will work. For marking the holes I prefer wittnessing the wall through the hole with a small size masonary bit (in a drill of course). With my old eyes a pencil mark can be hard to find. The tape trick works for wood bits too as does using one of those rod depth gauges. drilling straight square (perpendicular not non round) holes is an art in itself that I get right only about 75% of the time.. How do you cope with that?

@Seven30onFriday Год назад

I do the same re fixing the top end first and marking the other holes. This is also the time to use a level to check for vertical, not after the holes are drilled. I agree SDS drills are useful but not essential for this job.

I did some framing work and used Multi Fix Concrete Screws which were easy to use with a solid bite. No need for plugs. I suppose it depends on what the framing work is for. Mine was only for stud work on a feature wall that had to be built out.

What about expansion, what about damp? etc? Love the trace pencil, I'll get one.

@dryflyman7121 Год назад

Excellent video and instruction, thank you. One caveat on drilling the brick. If it has a traditional ‘frog’ then no problem, but if it is a modern cheaper brick, it may just have 6-8 round holes for the frogs. If you drill into one of these then you lose some of the integrity required for the plug to expand onto.

@TheDIYGuy1 Год назад

Well said!

@andysturrock Год назад

You can also use concrete screws/bolts. You can drill the pilot hole straight through the wood into the brick/block/concrete with a masonry bit and then put the bolt in with an impact driver. No need for plugs and less chance of cracking concrete, especially if you are near the edge. Great channel, love the content and presenting style.

I've just made a large wooden gate and attached the post to the side of the house with concrete screws like you said in your post. I asked the builders suppliers what he recommended for my job and he gave me 6mm ones ( 16mm long) to attach my 10mm post. It appeared to do the job but unfortunately the weight of tbe 3 m gate has pulled them within a few days. I think I'n going to have to change up to something heavier.

@HighWealder Год назад

My previous house was an old Victorian one built from relatively soft bricks and soft lime mortar. Fixing anything to a wall (plus through thick soft lime plaster) could present problems that could not be solved by using any type of plastic plug because of oversized cavities. I found that the best way to solve it was to cut a piece of scrap wood slightly larger than the hole, make a point on it and then hammer it in and saw off flush. Then screw directly into it without drilling a hole.

@TheDIYGuy1 Год назад

@TheDIYGuy1 2 года назад

Frame fixings yes, but they require you avoiding mortar joints in brickwork. I use them when fitting doors or windows mostly. I quite like the resin fixings, they do the job well but I guess I'm more old school and the coachbolt and plug method has NEVER failed me and is more user friendly for the DIYer

@jamese9594 Год назад

Thanks for the video. Would you recommend coach bolts for a pull up bar on a single skin brick wall? I’m debating between the set up you’ve shown here (with batten) or anchor bolts or even using resin fixings. Cheers!

@user-ou6lv9hl5k 10 месяцев назад

@benghazi4216 10 месяцев назад

Such a bespoke way to put up some timber that will not be visible! The effort and passion is inspiring. But as a general contractor I would have a migraine if I saw this one site though. Take the stud, line it up, drill with a concrete drill straight through the wood into the wall to the correct depth, take a nail plug and beat it in with a hammer. Repeat. Next stud.

@joetoyota7903 4 месяца назад

After drilling hole in cement or brick, use an air compressor to blow out the drilling debris from the hole, before tapping in the anchor plug.

@markpapp8784 Год назад

Nice video; you have another subscriber… thanks for posting. I do it slightly differently, because I don’t much trust my measuring and marking. I’ll prepare the top holes as per your video. I’ll then snug the post up into position, hanging it from the top fixing, and nudge it into vertical. I’ll then use a small-bore dill bit and drill through the post and a tiny bit into the wall, just to mark it. This way it’s also easy to avoid mortar, if you want to, and makes the use of concrete screws possible. I then remove the post from the wall and make the remaining counterbores and through holes. I might make the new through holes a couple of mm oversize, again to compensate for my incompetence and give me a bit of wiggle room. The penny washers Charles Renwick suggests help out here! Then drill the rest of the holes in the wall, plug, and put up post, tweaking the alignment if necessary. One final thought - make sure that the projecting screw isn’t longer than the plug, otherwise you’ll have to drill the wall to the depth of the screw, not just the plug.
