business and finance construction industryCan you attach Ledger to Brick?
Beside this, how do I attach a ledger to a brick wall?
To attach a ledger against a wall through brick veneer:
- Mark anchor locations on your ledger and drill through the board with a ½” bit.
- Position the ledger against the wall and mark the anchor positions through the hole onto the wall.
Additionally, what anchor to use in brick?
Self-tapping brick anchors, concrete block or concrete screws are used for fastening items to brick. Concrete screws are most commonly called Tapcon® masonry screws. The heavy-duty masonry screw has the versatility for use in brick, mortar joints, CMU, block or solid concrete.
Here is a very easy method for attaching that wood to concrete without using all those concrete anchors. You will need a hammer drill, 20 ounce hammer and some 16d nails. Insert a 1/4" masonry drill bit, 4 or 6 inches long, into the hammer drill. Drill through the wood and into the concrete.
