How to Attach Wood to Brick (EASY Method)

[@mattunderwood5499]

Great stuff, I’ve a loose fence panel that’s been screwed into brick pillars plus a leaking shed roof to refelt, learnt how to do both in about 30 mins watching your vids this morning. Will go through your other vids for the countless other jobs I’ve let build up with no idea how to do. Cheers

[@FixitwithFowler]

That's amazing to hear that my videos have helped you out. My DIY channel is all about trying to save people money by giving them the skills and knowledge to carry out dit jobs themselves.

[@georgetate6055]

Thanks for the good ideas . . . will attach a post to my brick tomorrow!

[@FixitwithFowler]

It's so easy with these concrete screws, I would advise drilling the hole slightly smaller first and test the screw in the hole, then if you need to enlarge it slightly you can!

[@BLUEHORIZON-g2b]

Cool vid buddy. I've used concrete screws a coupla times in the house. When you asked your question, my brain still thought firstly of hammer-in fisher-fixings. Yeah concrete screws for the Win !

[@FixitwithFowler]

The concrete screws are brilliant, I will be using them in my next video when I make some shelves in my garage! Thanks for your comment 👍

[@eddiecotter7201]

Good tip there on using torque wrench for final tighten of screws,I have used impact driver before all the way and it pushed the wood away from the wall so I know what to do now in future,thank you

[@FixitwithFowler]

I'm glad you liked the video and the tips in it, I always try and make the videos informative. Thanks for your comment 👍

[@leighbird1970]

I've never heard of concrete screws. I've always used rawl plugs. Definitely going to get some as I've got some french cleats to attach to the wall.

[@FixitwithFowler]

These concrete screws are brilliant, just make sure you use the correct size drill bit. Here's a link to the ones I've used amzn.to/3WFjr51

@@FixitwithFowler thanks. I'll give them a try.

[@FixitwithFowler]

@leighbird1970 you won't be disappointed!

I find those concrete screws so useful. Saves so much time

[@FixitwithFowler]

Yeah, I agree, so easy to use, and they save loads of time!

[@FixitwithFowler]

Hi, firstly thanks for your great comment I really appreciate it. The sds is a makita 18v amzn.to/4bfUKRl I'm really pleased with it and never use my mains drill now!

[@mattseymour8637]

Great advice and useful video! When mounting the wood and drilling the holes, what's the best way of stopping the wood moving out of place before you install the fixings?

[@FixitwithFowler]

If you pilot the wood first the you can line it up and drill the middle fixing first. Then, loosely fix that in place, which allows you to pivot the wood and drill the other fixings without removing the wood each time.

[@mattseymour8637]

@@FixitwithFowler Thanks for the advice. Didn't think about doing that but it makes sense. Will try that in future.

[@FixitwithFowler]

@mattseymour8637 no problem, hope you get on with it ok

[@brianfarrelly415]

Great video mate concrete screws are brilliant 👍

[@FixitwithFowler]

Yeah these concrete screws are a great product. I'm going to do some shelving in the garage and I will definitely use the concrete screws for that!

[@raymondmathers7999]

Hi, very useful, how far did you drill into the brickwork.

[@FixitwithFowler]

Hi, the drill depth was 110 mm. That includes 40mm in the timber, which gives a fixing of 60mm in the brick with 10mm allowance at the end of the fixing.

[@stevemo3318]

Hi would 40mm into the brick be sufficient?

[@FixitwithFowler]

Hi, Bricks are 100mm thick, so I would recommend going at least halfway through. I suppose it depends on what you are fixing to the brick.

[@stevemo3318]

Hi Steve makes perfect sense thanks!

[@FixitwithFowler]

@stevemo3318 no problem, hope you get on OK with the concrete screws 🤞

[@DingleyDell]

Hi Steve, would those screws also be the right ones for hanging basket brackets (into brick)?

[@FixitwithFowler]

You could use shorter ones. They come in loads of different lengths! The concrete screws are so easy to install!

[@paulperrin2152]

What make and model is your hammer drill??, good video

[@FixitwithFowler]

The battery sds is a makita DHR242Z amzn.to/3QHSSIE I'm really pleased with it.

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

I love watching cowboy builders on KZbin. Not a clue as to how to fix timber to brick most of them. Yes drill right through timber into brick with your masonry bit but then drill a CLEARANCE hole through the timber! The timber will never pull down tight onto the wall because the fixing was gripping the wood as well. Me? No I'm not a builder, I'm far too skilled and intelligent to do that kind of work, I'm a yacht builder and if I built yachts the way some of you lot build houses they'd sink!

[@FixitwithFowler]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for your comment!

[@MisterJ56]

No plugs needed at all? Silly question perhaps from a beginner DIY'er from the Netherlands.

[@FixitwithFowler]

Yeah, that's correct. There are no plugs at all. The concrete screws create the thread in the brick. It's great to hear from the Netherlands!

[@DaveBaldwin-jj2kb]

Used them screws to hang 50 inch TV on brick wall there awesome TV ain't going no where

[@FixitwithFowler]

They are amazing, so easy to use without wall plugs and like you say really strong!

[@DaveBaldwin-jj2kb]

They are m8 first time iv used em really impressive
