Hello:
I want to nail some wooden 2x4's to the interior concrete foundation in my garage to hang some hooks from, for holding shovels, etc. I have seen some special "concrete nails" which I'm told can be driven into the concrete, and will hold well. What I'm wondering is: a. Will these rather large nails damage the concrete, or more importantly tend to "crack" it ? b. Do they really tend to hold well ? (I guess most of the load would be in shear, rather than tension tending to pull them out) c. How deep into the concrete do I want to go ? d. Any brands of better than others ? Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated. Thanks, Bob |
