The vents holes under my sister's house are one cinder block square.

The cheap vent covers were nailed in place by just driving nails into
the mortar joints. Her dogs push them out to get under her house.

My solution will be to just take some one inch thick wood and cut the
pieces the same size as the cinder block and wedge them around the
opening and screw the vents to the wood.

Any better solutions?

Fasten them permanently to the block w/ anchors or powder-actuated
studs. If they need to be removable for any reason, use threaded
studs or the anchors...


The vent covers are only slightly larger than the opening. Anchors
might work without breaking the block. I don't think using a Hilti
gun on the edge of a cinder block would turn out too good.

Thanks
