How do I get the 1/2-inch dia anchors into the existing concrete?

You need to use anchors that expand when you put them into the hole you drill. They will lock in when you bolt them down.

Use a hammer drill and masonry bit. Measure the length of the anchor you are using and set the depth gauge on the drill.

use a concrete hammer drill and red head anchors or split concreted anchors witw lag bolts.both are avaliable at home depot or lowes. you may have to rent the drill ,from an equiptment rental yard. hope this helps

Get 1/2" masonry bit. Drill holes, be sure to blow debris out of hole, drop in 1/2" masonry anchors, put nut on bolt, drive bolt into hole until a little more than the nut is sticking out, tighten it up snug, (if you don't get it tight enough, bolt might fall down into hole when you take the nut back off, and then you will need a strong magnet to get it back out) unscrew the nut from the anchor, put strong tie over exposed anchor bolts then tighten down the nuts.

Use an impact drill with a masonry bit to drill the holes. Then pound expanding masonry anchors into the holes with a hammer: Simpson Strong Tie WA50334 1/2" x 3-3/4" Wedge-All Wedge Anchor 25 per Box by Simpson Strong-Tie http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001I3IH08/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_w1wTtb0D748AB

Advise installing this handrail using (Swim Time NE1244 Bronze Anchor for In-Ground Pool Handrail) you can search amazon for these anchors. You need to use a core drill to drill two holes (about 4" dia.) put your anchors in place and pour a cement anchor product to secure them. Handrail can be pushed into anchors and locked by tightening the bolts located in the anchor. When anchors are cast in place you will have the sturdiest handrail possible.

A small plastic anchor (Insert) can be put into a hole. The anchor takes a small screw. They are available in the hardware department or home improvement store.

This item is part of a organizing solution called Rubbermaid FastTrack Garage Organization System. You would have to anchor the FastTrack rails into your concrete. http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?CatName=GarageOrganization&SubcatId=FastTrackGarageOrganizationSystem&Prod_ID=RP091559

The screws that come with the box won't work in concrete. You have to use a concrete drill and some anchored screws (with hooks).

It's been a couple years since I did mine, it was a bit of work and I'm a professional craftsman. First of all, be very careful and patient, take your time not to break the porcelain. The original aluminum screws are a pain in the neck, there is a tool included that you can use underneath the anchor to hold it still while extracting the screws. If that doesn't work, try cutting them flush with a short hacksaw and then drilling them out. Then, gently tap and push the original anchors through and in to the base, you won't need them. Then, read the directions very carefully and then read them again...follow them strictly. This kit works very well and you'll be very happy. Hope this helps.

The brass anchors are approx. 4" tall. So they actually need to be set in 4" thick concrete to support the weight of the railing.

for the anchors that came with mine, 7/32" for dry, wall 1/4" for cinder block or concrete. The anchors are real cheap ones. If you have a problem with them, just get some better ones at at Home depot or Lowes, these should have drill bit size listed on package. the anchors should go in snuggly and flush to wall. You may need to tap them in lightly with hammer. (emphasis on "lightly")

no there made to go in concrete I core drill a 3 1/2 hole in my concrete then epoxyed in the anchors

Make a hole in the existing pad and use new cement mix to hold the anchor. Anchor stays permanent and you usually don't remove the handrail?

Mine went into 2-3 inches of concrete like it was butter.....well, almost. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole first and then a 3/8 hole to put in epoxy and a piece of 5/16 allthread rod (4 places) to mount a garden hose reel securely. (Now I don't have to stand on the hose reel to stabilize it......I just crank away.) This is a homeowner's dream ...... but NOT contractor's grade (add a few hundred $ more for a high-quality/use it all day contractor's tool).

Use the screws. Make sure that the holes you drill for them are squarely in the beam. I did not use the anchors

I used these for installing them on a brick wall, no anchors necessary just drill and screw. Definitely a lot of elbow grease, but they are solid as a rock! http://www.homedepot.com/p/Tapcon-1-4-in-x-2-3-4-in-Polymer-Plated-Steel-Hex-Washer-Head-Indoor-Outdoor-Concrete-Anchors-75-Pack-24330/100098197

I had the same problem. To resolve I took a 2"x12" cut to the same size as the concrete base, and using permanent adhesive, bonded it to the wooden block. I then drilled pilot holes to align the aluminum base and used 1 12" bolts(w/wood screw threads) to mount it to the base.

Yes. All you need to do is dig the hole and mount the anchors in the cement. I highly recommend paying a pro. This unit is very heavy.

My hubby says 1/4 inch concrete anchors . The bamboo is about a 1/2 inch . Ours is on a wood fence we used EMT straps to secure it ( electrician ) and we have had it for 2 years and it is still very strong and doesn't seem to have any weak spots or splits from the sun . We leave it up year round . It was bigger then I pictured and has work great for my morning glories .

I returned this item (to complicated) and opted to install it in concrete. Contact mdooling@etsmiami.com and Maria will give you complete details. Tom
