Hello,
I have a double skin wall outside that was taken down and now rebuilt. I have bought a new 2m piece of timber that’s 2m long and now need to connect that to the wall as this is part of the door frame. The timber is 44mm depth
the bricks are 100mm depth and have 3 holes in the middle of brick so are not engineering bricks.
Once the timber is connected to the wall with bolts I will then hang the original solid wood garden gate that’s 6ft high and 3ft wide and weighs quite a lot.
I am looking to know what type of bolts to I’m use for securing the timber to the brick wall and ensure it’s strong enough to hold the door?
I did buy some concrete bolts however as shown in the picture I think they will be took big for the bricks so think an anchor would be more suitable? The ones in the picture are M10 120cm length.
looking at the brick I am also wondering if it’s best to drill in between the holes from the front? Or drill in from the front and then it will drill into one of the 3 holes within the brick? Thanks
