Express nails are absolutely powerful if used correctly. Massive.

I'm trying to find a way to do this w/o drilling into the bricks. Some sort of clamp that goes over the block wall with cap.

Is there a part 2 video where you use the posts? I assume for privacy. I want to do that part. Add a privacy top.

Im looking for simpson block ontop of cinderblock post fence for adjoining fence sections would express nails work for that? Also can i buy these at home depot?😊

If you’re using cinderblock then be aware that they are structurally not as strong as concrete block. I'm pretty sure Home Depot may have similar with a different name

Would this hold well if the blocks aren’t filled with concrete ? Mine are “hollow” just the mortar. My wall is 7’ high and I want to add a 3 ‘ topper. How far down the wall would these posts have to go?
@DrivewayDudes
@DrivewayDudes 3 жыл бұрын
For a cavity hollow block, probably as much below as above and try to avoid drilling the mortar if at all possible

In a former neighborhood of mine, that little addition would get you a health fine from the local HOA and possibly a "removal notice" from the local code enforcement Nazi's. I like the technology, provided it doesn't split the block. Not all building block is created equal! :)

Great video thanks. I see you didn’t aim for the middle of the blocks, was this intentional? Are you trying to drill around the edges of the block where it’s solid? How far in from the joints do you need to be?
@DrivewayDudes
@DrivewayDudes 3 жыл бұрын
As long as you keep 50mm from the edge of the block you're usually safe enough. The mortar in the joints wont give a strong fixing point and the express nail will work loose after time.
