Hi All,
I've just had some new paving laid to which I am seeking to secure a wooden arbour. I've spoken with the paver to ensure that there is a full bed of cement underneath the paving stones to take the fixings.
But what fixings would be suitable for the job?
Paver suggested 'Thunderbolts' - Do I insert these bolts so that they screw into both the paving and cement base, or just the cement? How long should I leave the cement to harden before drilling it?
The paving slabs seem sturdy enough - Castcrete Autumn Gold - so assume they wouldn't split if drilled/screwed.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
