Install a Fence Post to a Wall | Concrete Or Brick

(Links to tools and equipment used in the description box below) In this video ill show you how to install a fence post to a wall, very securely !

The method can be used not just for fence posts, but in any application when fixing timber to concrete or brick.

The bolts used are called thunder bolts or masonary screws and produce a very secure fixing. You can hang gates off of the posts when bolted using these.

No rawl plugs required. You just pilothole into the brick or concrete and screw straight in, with the benefit of being able to easily unscrew them down the line.

By far the simplest method I’ve seen so far, thanks.

Down here in Australia our bricks are cored, (hollowed out), so its best to drill into the mortor for a solid fix,
Never had issues doing it that way. 👍

[FayMarshallLauro]

This was wonderfully helpful. Thank you.

Nice video. What I need to know is how to attach the wood post to brick when the brick is likely to be the "Brick with Holes" style.

Cheers m8, seems like it was builders night out the previous evening? Had a few pints with the mad lads.

Great and informative, we will be using your methods here on our patio!

I've only moved over to thunderbolts the last two years, so much quicker than plugs. Good video for new DIY folks 👍👍

[khurramahmed]

Nice video bro, really helpful, esp the angle cut and raising off the floor part... Crucial

[barkershill]

You know your job and you also know how to make an informative video . The two do t always gotogether

[mohfiroz]

Eather diy or professional.
Thanks for video.

Great advice. This really helped me fit my garden archway to brickwork..

[zaccrogers]

Nice matey very helpful many thanks to you 👍

[alexkane]

Thanks for the video. I have to say that I tried, very hard, to follow your advice but it didn't work for me. I drilled the batten I wanted to fix to the wall, as you describe. I'm using 100mm, no. 10 Thunderbolts. I then used a 150mm x 8mm masonry bit, purchased for the job, to drill into the wall. I spent over an hour trying to wind the bolts in, to no avail. I ended up using a shorter 10mm masonry bit to widen the holes and was finally able to get the thing fixed. It's tight and certainly not going anywhere but I'll be using 10mm in both the wood and wall from now on.

[harwoods]

Just to verify... 8mm drill bit into brickwork for 10 thunderbolts?
Great video 👏👏

[ukredman]

Great video, what I needed to understand how to fit a wooden gate post to a concrete wall, Thanks mate for taking the time to post this!

[Rich-frxn]

Hello sir, am I right in saying if you get 10mm thunderbolts you need to use a 8mm masonry drill bit and how deep do you need to drip as I don’t want to go through into the house.Cracking video

[drcl]

is it worth covering the recesses with plastic hole plugs?

[thomasjoseph]

I had to fix a timber fence post to a concrete post - one of the scenarios you cover in this video. I bought all the right stuff and a new masonry bit. I had problems hammer drilling into the concrete - after a short distance the bit refused to go any further. I therefore tried drilling in different places on the post and finally managed to secure the post using four masonry screws at the right depth. I mentioned this to my neighbour who has experience of this sort of work and he said that there is metal mesh inside the posts and that I had probably been hitting it. Is this true and if so maybe you should mention it in your otherwise excellent demo. Could I have perhaps have tried using a drill bit for steel when hitting mesh ? Thanks

[spyr]

Okey so yours is different..i was thinking if digging a hole and cement the post to be more stable...but yours is much easier... 👍

You don't need to use an anchor in the brick?

[ciararespect]

Was thinking of fixing a concrete fence post to a brick wall. Drilling through the slots? Does concrete create a wick effect?
