Im looking for simpson block ontop of cinderblock post fence for adjoining fence sections would express nails work for that? Also can i buy these at home depot?😊
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! :)
Yep. Brick, stone or concrete www.luckinslive.com/data/113e3dfa-68a6-4538-a9fa-b31a6e997a46/f718cf29-bf4a-4683-8784-d3c6cc511473.PDF Page 69 knipex.co.za/products/Rawlplug.pdf
Great video , quick question , I have very thin halo bricks, do would I be okay drilling into the first wall only? Old skinny halo Brock , don’t want to crack it
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?
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?
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.
Express nails are absolutely powerful if used correctly. Massive.
thanks dude you gave me the best idea of building a retaining wall for hand rail safety
Thanks for a great video 🙂. You made it short enough to get the point across (no pun here) and long enough to follow for a DIY selfer like me.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow - that beats the Tapcon hell I'm about to endure.
Thanks for sharing 👍 quick and to the point.

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.
Is there a part 2 video where you use the posts? I assume for privacy. I want to do that part. Add a privacy top.
Would they work on a 9in cavity block
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.
I've got some of them!
7.5mm × 150mm so you don't need a plug in breeze block wall then if you drill a 5mm hole?
@@blackwingvisuals5017 No you don't, just a 6mm or 5.5mm hole, really secure.
@@6lr6ak6 cheers will give it a go:)
@@blackwingvisuals5017 in breeze block I'd go 5.5mm in stone or concrete 6mm.
@@6lr6ak6 well I will find out in an hour when I have a crack at it:)
Would those posts hold tension? Say a mesh tarp with no sag for shade?
Awesome i need that done 👍🏽 do you guys live in Michigan?!????? 😂
Where did you buy it? I can't find it on website
Don't see it in the US, express nails a British thing? Tapcon screws more popular here.
Great job

Keep watching...nice👍
Nice little fringe you have there!!
any idea what this product might be called in the us? i can't seem to find such a thing by searching 'express nail'
I ended up using a similar product called 'confast' though I wish I had some of those express nails
I think concrete bolts will be better.
Nicely done 👍
What are these called so can buy them
Great video Thanks!

Yep. Brick, stone or concrete

Terrific ~ Thanks!
Thank you very easy instructed ♥️
Are they intended for wood/concrete interface or can you also use them for wood/wood?
You wouldn't use express nails for wood to wood.
Great video , quick question , I have very thin halo bricks, do would I be okay drilling into the first wall only? Old skinny halo Brock , don’t want to crack it

For a cavity hollow block, probably as much below as above and try to avoid drilling the mortar if at all possible
@@DrivewayDudes okay cool! Thanks !

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.
the only trouble with those fixings is if you do any mistakes or ned to reaplace a timber lead to damaging it enjoyed the video.
I want to see the finished product
I'll be uploading a new video shortly and I'll add it in the end of the video as a little bonus!
Liar
you could used a concret secrew
Yeah! Just secrew them and thats it
@@Nayo68
Secrews are better because if you make a mistake you can unsecrew them and try again.
@@strangelee4400 Hahaha...: )
Masonry nails?
well at least you didnt SCREW that one up! 😉
anything that says express on it i wouldn't use for a job that i want to last for a long time, sorry..

Couldn't keep watching...
