dpmiller Posted May 10, 2019 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I used hammer fixings for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 ta. Tried a couple of Lidl's finest fake Fisher plugs and they took OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted May 10, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
