on how to fix Tanalized 50mm thick wood capping onto brick.block wall (60m)
Final decision is to fit with Concrete screws ..
Frame Screws http://tinyurl.com/h9uu7yr
Managed to get 150mm length at only £13 a 100
Good suggestion I have had is to insert 5mm thick plastic spacers under wood to keep off brickwork when damp and also allow for any irregularities when fixing .. so may take that approach.
My question is two fold ....... first off at what centres should I put in these fixings ... thinking that 600mm c/s may be suitable ? someone mention 2 fixings every 600c/s but that seems a lot of screws.
I had thought about counter-bore and then plug ...... a lot of effort, if I instead just pulled in screw to below flush and fitted a cover cap.
Such as:

Which are specifically for concrete screws .....Thoughts ?
Know of a better approach ?
