shed/fence help

[gaz2923]

I am building a small rectangular shed (7ft deep x 4ft wide) for my motorbike, not for theft protection merely for weather and out of sight protection

at present there is a fence (6ft x 6ft panels) running to the wall of my house (45 degree to wall) with professionally sunken posts in gap on edge of patio

I want to use this as the one side of the shed, the house wall as the rear of the shed and then fix one fence post to the wall of the house and another fence post using one of those metpost jobbys

question is will i have any trouble drilling into and fixing down a post anchor to a paving slab without splitting the slab either during drilling or when tightening bolt

slabs are well laid on concrete and are the larger rectangle ones

any advice appreciated as i am a learner

there may not be anything under the slab for the rawlbolt to expand into. Having said that if you have good strong fixings on the other three corners as it sounds like you have, then you dont really need to worry too much about the last corner. A beeter bet would be to use a couple of small angle brackets on the inside of the shed and plug and screw them into the slab. It will give you sufficent fixing and will look better than a met post.

so are you saying that if i ran a few angle brackets along the unsecured side i could use some smaller screws to fix directly into the slab, ie instead of 4 big bolts on a metpost, 3 angle brackets with 4 smaller screws in each fixed into plugs in the slabs?

sounds like a good idea and i will have a look into it

this is going well, anybody else go any good ideas, i was worried about wind being a problem and blowing it around?
