dpmiller Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I've got some ridge end caps to fix "up above". They're pretty heavy clay and I woudn't want'em falling off... They're drilled for two fixings on the face, that's not a problem. Likewise, I'll need to pop a bit of treated timber in between them and the blockwork to space'em out for the verge trims and future render. Again, not a problem. But has anyone a recommendation on fixings onto the blockwork? Unfortunately I use that term pretty loosely as there's mostly mortar buttered into the peak... Too soft for concrete screws obviously, so are any specific plugs a definite go-er? Don't want to risk bursting the mortar. Or is it a case for gripfill / AN Other anchor into the screwholes and behind the timber?
dpmiller Posted May 10, 2019 Author Posted May 10, 2019 ta. Tried a couple of Lidl's finest fake Fisher plugs and they took OK.
Declan52 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Yeah have used a few of them as well, pretty decent for the price. I put a dab of silicone on the head incase they would rust and stain in a few years.
