Which anchor/fastener should I use?
I am adding shade sails to my back yard. On one side they will attach to my metal pergola and in the other, my block wall. I don’t want permanent poles sticking up above my walls so I decided to go with a system of brackets attached to the wall so I can add and remove the sails when I don’t need them, like in the winter months. After researching, it seems tapcons may not be the best choice and red heads snap easily. The wall is 3 inches thick. What would be the best option? Toggle bolts and just trim the length of the bolt? Lead anchors? submitted by /u/cotonheadedninymugns [link] [comments]
