The EASIEST Way to Attach Wood to Brick

- In this video ill show you the easiest way to attach wood to brick. It really is super simple.
The method gives an incredibly strong fixing and can be used not just for fixing fence posts to a brick wall, but in any application when fixing timber to concrete or brick.
The screws used are called concrete screws or thunder bolts. You can hang gates off of the posts when bolted using these.
No rawl plugs required. You just pilothole into the brick or concrete and screw straight in, with the benefit of being able to easily unscrew them down the line.
I hope that this video helped you in some way, and if it did, please leave a comment for me in the comments section. I love to hear from people who gained value from any of my videos. I always respond to comments, so would be great to hear from you guys ! 👍

I used these screws to mount a gatepost to the side of my now 125 year old brick house 12 years ago. Worked a treat. The gate was one side of a 6' high by 8' wide double timber gate. It's never moved at all. I used a ratchet to put the screws in.
The other gate post was concreted 1000 mm into the ground with 50mm gravel in the bottom for drainage. At ground level and about 500mm below/250mm above, I wrapped Denso tape around the post.
I also did the same with the post against the house but only to about 300mm deep.
No rot in either post. Used pressure treated wood.
I was taught to put washers on the back and front side. The back to leave an air gap so the wood won’t trap moisture and rot.
Agree
Thank you! Love the to the point video. I also appreciate how you provided the exact size of the masonry bit, socket, and screw.
I am over the mon about concrete screws. Doorpost into very old wall, didn't know to drill straight into brick and use concrete screws. Now I can install a doorpost into old brickwork...old lady 75 yrs old.
Good on you 👏 see these are so easy to use anyone can do it. Hope im still able to do diy when in 75 years old.
Loved the video. I too am a 75 year old grandmother who is installing a large window-frame to brickwork. (Building the lot myself).
PS: I live in Australia.
Hi I’m 76 next month it’s April 2024 now. A female I’m building a catio and for my cats to go out and an enclosed lean-to in my back yard over the back door, with a door on to the yard. Keep cats from going on the streets. I was wondering about how to secure the wood to the brickwork, you made it seem so easy. I’ve watched some other vids, that stressed me out, yours was perfection. I’ve done quite a bit of woodwork but never drilled anything into brick, Thank very much from East Anglia, Britain.
75 is just a number. I'm 83 and still finding projects to do around the house. Don't ever stop. Don't stress over things you can't do any more. Find and do things you can do. I say again, never stop.
Finally a well made no nonsense video
This video told me what I needed to know with no BS filler content.
You’ve made a good point, nice and clear for everyone who wants to take up a do it yourself fencing replacement or repair.
My choice has always been masonry nails, 100mm for a 50mm timber wall plate, six nails one hammer and I’ll be on to digging the first post hole while you’re still drilling.
I’m not knocking you for what you’re doing here, I like your channel, if your average person with any capability to take on a job like fencing definitely needs the help from you as you well know.
Back in the day we would chisel out the mortar, dowel it then nail into the doweling with ordinary nails, it’ll not want to go anywhere but sideways and the nails prevent that movement.
My opinion comes from experience, and timber doesn’t last as long as it’s fixing these days 👍🏻
I rarely comment but I do really appreciate the straight to the point videos
10/10
Awesome, straight to the point, that was what I needed. Thank you!!👍
Good stuff, thank you. I've got a building in the USA built in 1897 that I'm going to be adding some living quarters to, this will be important for the interior walls.

I had some people install a gate into my brickwork and they used plugs after two days they started coming out. I wondered why they didn't just use these screws and four instead of 2! I'm on to fixing it now
Yes I love quick and to the point!
Appreciate your short and to-the-point advice. Cheers!

Perfect! Thank you.
Keep it simple! Cool 😎👍
Brilliant. You're spot on. Great video and thankyou for taking the effort and time to keep us informed!
Dude! We’re building a brick fence around our property. I was looking for DIY videos on how to attach wood cedar to the brick pillars. I was thinking like ‘eh, this guy looks familiar.’ Little did I know - YOU DO rugs AND OUTDOORSY STUFF TOO?! That’s so cool!! I’m subscribed here too! Nice!!
Yes great stuff without all the fuss.👍
😮 that's great. Thanks mate
Thank you verybmuch this is so helpful
Thanks for the short and quick video!!
Very clear - thanks for this.
Legend ! Gr8 vid explaining it all 👍
Thank you
Good video, thanks for sharing 3:36
Love it buddy 👍🏽
I think, although nicley done you could have said less in the intro , also "show" how over tightening will pull the grip of the treads out! 👍
Thank you. I can do this.
Thanks
really good video thanks
Straight to the point. Love ❤️it!
Excellent stuff, no jargon and easy to follow
Thanks man. Exactly what i wanted.
Love the fast bit. Well explained.
Glad to hear it!
I loved the straight to the point video, thank you!
Good video, I've used it on my cantilever parasol, no need for weigths or any slabs, it's quite good fror post shoe too
Thankyou 😁 good idea with the parasol. I actually want to get a cantilever one myself
Quick to the point 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love this because I never even thought of it myself. Thanks for the incouragement 👍
Excellent straight to the point video. Thank you.
This is a very good video. To date I have always rawl plugged the hole or used frame fixings. I will use these concrete screws next time. I think the format of the video is brilliant.
Thankyou for your comment Richard. I will have to do more videos like this in the future.
Yeah Avin a Laugh aintcha?
perfect video ... short and to the point, excellent job
Great and quick.
Thank you for sharing this information with us. I learned something useful.
Excellent, to-the-point video!
Very good video
Thankyou 👍 hope you found it helpful.
Thanks, straight to the point.
amazing thank you
Great video, you speak my language
Great stuff - thank you!
Very welcome!
Exactly what I was looking for no wall plugs just adjustable spanner to make it stronger. Because i can't get to the other side to screw it in properly because of of a six foot gap and drop
Definitely like the shorter videos
Brilliant video thanks
Forgot the washers my bro 🙏
What a great video - love the to the point strategy
Thankyou. Makes a change from the long drawn out videos on youtube
Great video! Can you do one where you are adding molding to outside brick home??!! Thanks on advance!
Thanks for this post.
One question out of curiosity, why you haven't used any plastic or wooden wall plugs for firm grip?
Great to the point video. It was very helpful to get my project done.
Youre welcome. Think ill make more videos that get straight to the point. Thanks for your comment.
Maybe a good idea to counter sink the hole in the wood to allow the bolt head to become flush with the wood surface, I would also place a metal washer under the screw head to achieve a professional fixing.
3/16th masonry bit, a piece of 16 gauge annealed wire and a 16 d common nail. Much easier and less expensive.
Hi James. When using Thunderbolts, how far from the edge of the brickwork do you from the edge of the brickwork do you feel you need to stay to be safe of cracking the brick? Lets say that's using M10's.
Great video! Very informative. I was wondering if it would be safe to screw the batten to a brick wall and have it exceed the brick wall height by a foot ? I was trying to build a privacy fence and I wanted It a bit higher than the wall.
Yes absolutely no problem with that
Thanks for this video. But quick question, we have been trying to drill holes in our brick shed to put hooks up for my partners fishing gear, but we can't seem to drill through the brick! It's an old shed, and just ordinary bricks, and we've been using a hammer drill and a brand new masonry drill bit. What is making it so difficult to drill a hole? Yours went in like butter!
Right. Now I have done lots of work over the years and anything brick or concrete....we just don't get along at all. I try, like you, using the proper bit begin drilling and that's it. If I make a nice hole it is now too big. I used the same bits the concrete guys use to form concrete driveways. Guess that is why god created liquid nails and epoxy. LOL
Try a quality drill bit (try Dewalt or Erbauer) also make sure you are using a corded drill with hammer action on, that should do the trick.
Hammer drills come with 2 settings. Normal and hammer. Be SURE you have it set on hammer. It should vibrate when in use.
When drilling masonry bits into concrete it takes a min to get started sometimes and sometimes you have to put a ton of force behind the drill. I'm sure this isn't the recommended way but if you put a lot of your wieght behind the drill to hold the bit down with extra force after a min it should grab and then start drilling.
I was able to drill with a regular battery powered drill. The bits can be rly expensive. Don't buy a bit that comes in a pack of mixed types but a single standard masonry bit. Usually around here they are blue. Good luxk
Sharpen the drill bit or use a concrete bit
Does this work with concrete like from a house is foundation too?
Thanks bro.. you save me 900 dollars ❤
Would this set up work/support a ledger board for a lean-to?
I need to hook timber from one side to the brick. This timber will serve as a base of garden shed
Hi. Would you do the same on a Purbeck stone wall.
Hey that was brilliant mate thanks. Subbed
I've used these crews and they just came out again and I used the correct screw and bit
Thank you!
Does it need any moisture proofing between the timber and brick?
Hi, can you tell me how to install wooden backing to mount an industrial clothes rail? I installed it on the concrete wall and got some reason it’s not holding… I read wooden backing would help but how do I install it so that it is sturdy???
Thank you in advance!
1:05 looks like a bird aerobatics team was training behind you.
Like the to the point video
Countersink the bolts so they are flush ?
Nice and easy!!
It seems that there are still some in the comments that don't understand the difference between SDS drill and ratchet type drill.
I am hoping to put up some new Gallows Brackets. The timber is 70mm deep so would M10 x 120mm be sufficient especially if i am also considering a recess for the head and then use a wooden plug. I am a DIYer so certainly no expert. Thank you.
What size drill bit and screw would be recommend if you wanted to do this with a 4x4 post please?
