Mounting 2 x 4 to block wall ?
Tapcon Screws are the best. Use the proper drill bit that is just under
the thread size. Sometimes you have to work the screws in and
out.......Then final tight.....
1/4 " are great.............

I want to mount a PT 2 x 4 to a cinder block wall in my basement, in
order to build some shelves.
What is the best way to do this ? These shelves may hold a max of 100
lbs.
I have seen those lead "sleeves" which I suppose you screw lag bolts into.
Is that the best method ?
Are there other products which are easier to use ?
I do have some mortor bits, so I am guessing that I can drill into this
wall ok. I don't think it is poured solid at this place in the wall.
Thanks for any tips.
James
