Guess that's a work around if I can't find an easier way.

Colleague at work brought in one of these as a solution?

Reckon it would work?

Anyone want 44 of them?

Hi Chris

I used that type of fixing to fix ply to a brick wall, to which i then fixed the beastmaker. Iused 8mm 100mm long hammer fixings.

Are you sure that your garage is breezeblock and not concrete block? can you work out the thickness by measuring the doorway depth and subtracting the depth of facings etc.

If it is solid block, the type of fixings you have suggested are correct. B&Q sell smaller packs of them for a ridicuous mark-up. you'll need to ensure that they are long enough to get proper purchase in the block and if you are tring to use these straight through the beastmaker, you'll have to widen the pre-drilled holes first.

Cheers, I'll have a look. Either cinder or concrete, either way I reckon that's the way to go.

I would definitely recommend going for the ply to the wall / beastemaker to ply option.   A piece of suitable ply should cost less than £5 from a diy shop and fixing it to the wall allows much more flexibility for multiple and / or failed fixings than attaching the beastmaker directly.  Once the ply is attached fixing the beastmaker is trivial.

hmm, you've got me thinking now. Add a a big sheet of ply with a few t nuts, a few holds... Shame there's an ankle snapping set of 3 stairs below.

I have seen less correspondence over building a new bridge over the Thames!!!

Modern man?

Sorry, have I missed something? Been moisturising..

When I saw this thread resurrected, I was super excited. Maybe someone had done some incredible feat, trying to emulate which, I could spend a few months and get a few injuries and niggles?
Very disappointed now.

Me as well but all we got was something from B&Qs DIY tips series for pensioners.
