Length of rawlbolt to fix studwork base plate to concrete base
Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.36 PM
I'm building a garden cabin and have my 4 walls built and ready to fix together and bolt to the concrete base. The timber is 4x2 and I've read that rawlbolts are a good solution to fix the base of the frames down to the concrete. I've bought these but am unsure if these will be sufficient length: https://www.screwfix.com/p/rawlplug-rawlbolts-m10-x-115mm-5-pack/87759 Also, am I ok to drill a 16mm hole directly through the timber with a masonry bit then into the concrete at the required shield depth? I don't want to have to move the frames to drill the concrete then move the frames back etc.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
