How do you mount something onto a brick surface?

Question

I would like to mount a garden hose holder onto a brick surface.

Thank you for any replies.

Answer 1

Tap-con screws will do the work. Buy a 3/16" concrete drill bit and 1/4" screws. Just drill a hole and screw the Tap-con. Better to use hex head screws, but they come Philips head also.

Answer 2

Use masonry anchors. Drill proper size holes in the mortar joints between the bricks and install the anchors, making certain they are snug. Fasten the holder into the anchors with the proper size screws.

Answer 3

Masonary bit on an electric drill then use metal anchors (lead would be good but plastic ones work too) and then use zinc-plated or brass screws sized to work with the anchors... home depot is your friend

Answer 4

Like a "brick house"?

Answer 5

Use concrete anchors screws. Drill a your holes smaller than the diameter of the screw with a masonary bit. And then screw them in.

Answer 6

Don't mount it on the brick, use a facial, trim board, column, anything but the brick.

Answer 7

Answer 8

measure out the width of the holes then mark them then drill them out.
use some anchors that slide in the holes and screw the thing on.

Answer 9

biker is on the right path,, they make different anchors for just about anything,, plastic for light stuff,, lead for heavier objects etc,, tell your local hardware person what you are doing and they will give you the right stuff, and like biker says,, drill,, insert,, and screw!!

Answer 10

Either use mollies intended for masonry, or use tap-con screws, either way you need a hammer drill.
