Hi all I am looking for some advice on how to secure a TV aerial please. I have noticed some knocking and I am pretty sure the culprit is my tv aerial knocking into brickwork, it’s only when it’s windy that it occurs. I think the banging is coming from the section circled red. How is it best...

Hi all I am looking to build a picket fence in my garden for my soon to be toddler as we have a slightly raised garden. The fence will only be 1.2m high, would you recommend using postcrete to secure the posts, or will a post spike be strong enough? In terms of fence post; would a 3x3 post...

Sorry to bother you again Steve. Would you have any advice for me on how to make sure this concrete bolt goes through the brick? I’m having trouble getting it in with a socket. Bolt is 10mm. I used an 8mm drill piece in the wall as suggested to allow this to be a tight fit, however I’m...

Great, thanks for your help

Many thanks Steve. Silly question, what tool would I use to screw this through the wood and into the wall? Would a socket set work? Thanks

Great, thanks. If I were to use 120mm concrete bolts through a 100m x 100m fence post, with this countersunk into the post around 20mm, would the 40mm different be enough to anchor it in the brick? Thanks

Sorry I meant a 4x4 post. The gate is going to be 2 metres high so would prefer a stronger anchor. Ah fab, so you’d recommend the 12mm drill piece for M12, the only reason I suggested the 14mm for this is because Screwfix advised on the website to do so, however It makes sense to have a tighter...

I have looked around, and I’m thinking of using the easy fix studs M12 x 160mm with the resin, giving me 60mm into the wall taking into account the 100x100 post. This would work okay with a 14mm drill piece put into the post and wall? Many thanks

Ah fantastic, thanks so much; all makes sense now! Great help, cheers

Many thanks for your reply. Silly question, with the resin would you put this on the face of the 4x4 post first, or apply it to the wall and then push the face of the post in to it? Thanks

Thanks for your help. This concrete bolt looks great, so you didn’t have to pilot hole into the brickwork prior to screwing this through the timber, and wall?

Thanks for this info all. I’ll inspect and fit
