I'm trying to attach some wood structures to a block wall. They will have
about 50 lbs.
of weight. The blue plastic inserts pull out. The holes are 1/4". Any

ideas?
I want to
avoid drilling larger holes but it's not out of the question.

Thanks

You can use "Tapcons" in mortar joints or solid sections of blocks. They cut
their own threads. - http://tinyurl.com/294p8
Or you can use hollow wall anchors called "Toggle Bolts " that have a spring
loaded wing that pops open when you push it thru a hole -

Or you can even use "Hollow Wall Anchors" that form a metal mushroom in the
hollow wall when you tighten them - http://tinyurl.com/25gdc
