Hi. I want to put up carniya sz25 brackets from bunnings in garage for some shelving space. Its going aganist what i think is cement brick, although not sure. I need help to figure out what type of screw or anchor to use.
Thanks
John
Welcome to the Bunnings workshop community @lindasjohn. It's great to have you join us and many thanks for your question.
Since the Carinya 400 x 250 x 25mm Zinc Heavy Duty Twisted Stayed Bracket is a large bracket I presume you will be putting some significant weight on it. In that case, I would advise using Dynabolts. Alternatively, you could use Tapcon screws which might be a more user-friendly option.
Here's a helpful step-by-step D.I.Y instructional video on How to install masonry fixings which I trust you'll find helpful in the process.
Please let me know if you need further information or had any questions.

It's my pleasure. Make sure you post some update images of your project, as I trust there will be members which would appreciate seeing your results.

Hi @lindasjohn,
It would be my preference to use Dynabolts. For added strength, you can squeeze some Ramset 750ml Chemset 101 Masonry Anchoring Adhesive into the holes prior to using either of the fixings. The Chemset glues the fixture into the wall which complements the mechanical grip of the anchors. It's a great safety measure in case there is any crumbling of the block.

Hi @lindasjohn,
I could see they were Besser blocks and advised as such. You might have the most success by drilling your holes in the mortar lines or if the location doesn't allow straight into the brick is also fine.
Please let us know how you go.

Hi John,
The Dynabolts by themselves should be sufficient. If you would like an additional measure to ensure there are no issues you can use the glue also. The glue is not a necessity.
