Answer 2

fastest probably won't be strongest. if it is bare, non-painted concrete, there are industrial glues that MIGHT work. Epoxy type. best will be some type of mechanical fastener. angle brackets screwed onto the pews then you drill a hole in the concrete, I like the pins that look something like a bent nail myself, but you could use Tap-Con screws. if the floor will be covered with carpet when you are finished, you could simply run metal slats between all of them, screwed on to the legs while they are upside down. then turn them up and pin or screw the metal to the floor. got to be a hundred ways to do it, no matter how you try it, it is going to be a time consuming job. i have to wonder WHY you want them nailed down. this leaves the room unusable for anything else.

Answer 3

You might look into using blue concrete screws. They are made for attaching into concrete and require a smaller hole to be drilled into the concrete than most of the other anchors.They are also cheaper than any of the anchor types. And with 128 pews to set, I assume cost and time are factors.

Answer 4

as far as i know, you would set your pews where they go and install braces or brackets to pews where they meet the concrete floor and mark your holes in the floor with a pencil for entire pew.then move pew out of way , having marked the holes drill them out with a masonary drill bit,( note that the size diameter of the drill bit should be the same size as the concrete fastener you insert into the concrete once each hole is drilled out, also the depth of the hole that you drill has to be deep enough to take the length of the screw threaded bolts you use). home depot or lowes would probably be your best bet for finding what you need, including advice to select proper bits and proper screws and fasteners for job. also youll want a proper length extension cord and a heavy duty drill so as to not burn out the motor,thats alot of drilling, with 128 pews to install , you probably want some help so "plan your work and work your plan" take care,BOB L

Answer 5

Use a wedgee-type anchor. A wedge anchor expands tighter within the hole the harder you pull with upward force. I used them to anchor a baseball dug-out bench and they worked great.
