Could do with a bit of guidance from the great people here 🙂
How do you secure a bolts in to a timber stud for a canopy?
I've bought my entrance-door canopy (to comply with Part M, stock photo below), which takes 3x bolts for each of its two brackets.
I am wondering how to attach the canopy in to the timber stud to above my entrance door.
I will be screwing into a triple stud of 45 x 240 structural timber.
The fixings will go through the cladding (brackets > brick slips 15mm > backing board 10mm > batten 19mm > sheathing 9mm).
I am thinking of stainless m8 boltsfor a strong fixing into the studwork: 120mm, countersunk stainless steel.
Do I glue in the bolt in to the stud?
Any help much appreciated.
