Hi I'm going to be screwing a 6x2 beam flat to a wall to support some further joists running perpendicular. What fixings should I use to screw this into a solid brick wall please?
Thanks which size? Timber will be 50mm thick so Im guessing at least 100mm length but what thickness?thunderbolt fixings
I typically work to a rule of thumb that the fixing should penetrate the substrate to twice the thickness of the material being held; I'd use a 150mm fixing for a 50mm boardThanks which size? Timber will be 50mm thick so Im guessing at least 100mm length but what thickness?
Loft boards and light storage.What will these joists that are attached to the 6x2 be required to carry?
Overall about 3-4m wide x 3m long. But its awkward - my house has a few internal solid brick walls that I am planning to take advantage of. So on one end there will be a ledger beam screwed onto the party wall, then the joists will run perpendicular with the other end of them sat on top of an internal brick wall.What are the dimensions of the area being boarded?
150mm x 7.5mm, Scrrefix do themThanks which size? Timber will be 50mm thick so Im guessing at least 100mm length but what thickness?
