    Express nails are absolutely powerful if used correctly. Massive.

    I'm trying to find a way to do this w/o drilling into the bricks. Some sort of clamp that goes over the block wall with cap.

    I use window frame / door frame screws, the gold one's with torx fit head, 7.5 mm and drill a 5.5 or 6mm hole, work great every time.

      7.5mm × 150mm so you don't need a plug in breeze block wall then if you drill a 5mm hole?

      @DrivewayDudes  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you’re using cinderblock then be aware that they are structurally not as strong as concrete block.
      I'm pretty sure Home Depot may have similar with a different name

    In a former neighborhood of mine, that little addition would get you a health fine from the local HOA and possibly a "removal notice" from the local code enforcement Nazi's. I like the technology, provided it doesn't split the block. Not all building block is created equal! :)

    Would this hold well if the blocks aren’t filled with concrete ? Mine are “hollow” just the mortar. My wall is 7’ high and I want to add a 3 ‘ topper. How far down the wall would these posts have to go?

      For a cavity hollow block, probably as much below as above and try to avoid drilling the mortar if at all possible

    Great video thanks. I see you didn’t aim for the middle of the blocks, was this intentional? Are you trying to drill around the edges of the block where it’s solid? How far in from the joints do you need to be?

    • @DrivewayDudes
      @DrivewayDudes  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As long as you keep 50mm from the edge of the block you're usually safe enough. The mortar in the joints wont give a strong fixing point and the express nail will work loose after time.
