Hi! I own these, but I installed with hollow wall anchors into drywall. I feel you in regards to plastic inserts into concrete, NOT the way to go ! Get wedge type anchors from Menards, Home Depot, LOWE'S, etc. if memory serves correctly, the mounting holes are only about 5/16, so 4 small concrete anchors would be more than enough to hold up a speaker. The anchors won't need to be more than 1.5 inches long. Hope this helps!Loni S HowardHoward Productions, LLC

I used these for installing them on a brick wall, no anchors necessary just drill and screw. Definitely a lot of elbow grease, but they are solid as a rock! http://www.homedepot.com/p/Tapcon-1-4-in-x-2-3-4-in-Polymer-Plated-Steel-Hex-Washer-Head-Indoor-Outdoor-Concrete-Anchors-75-Pack-24330/100098197

If going into true concrete and not cinder block then you need 4 concrete lag shield anchors for the 3/8 lag bolts recommended by onstage.

Use tapcon screws. They come with a drill bit. you need a hammer drill to drill into the concrete. I use 1 1/2 length screws. I just used them to mount a 60in tv into a concrete wall and they work fine.

You should first drill holes in the block wall (using appropriate size carbide drill bit), install plastic anchors, then use screws. An alternative method would be to use heavy duty velcro with two-sided tape. Any Home Depot or Lowes store Associate can explain in more detail.

Not sure mine has been mounted to my concrete wall for a year. However I did drill them bigger as this is just plastic then I added steel plates as described in other reviews to strenghen. Used large concrete anchors instead of what came with real

Use an impact drill with a masonry bit to drill the holes. Then pound expanding masonry anchors into the holes with a hammer: Simpson Strong Tie WA50334 1/2" x 3-3/4" Wedge-All Wedge Anchor 25 per Box by Simpson Strong-Tie http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001I3IH08/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_w1wTtb0D748AB

Yes, I imagine that these would work fine when fastened to a concrete/rebar wall, with two caveats: 1) Ensure that the holding strength of the fastener is sufficient for the load you are hanging. 2) Before attaching the Quakehold hook to the wall with the anchor/screw, "set" the concrete anchor by attaching a small block of plywood to the wall; then, remove the screw, and attach the Quakehold hook to the wall. This will help to prevent squeezing (and possibly weakening) the plastic quakehold hook. NOTE: Use block of wood is same thickness as the quakehold hook.

I believe we used a #10 or #12 three inch wood screw into 3/4 plywood.You could use 1/4" masonry screws with them. And need to factor about 1/2" to 3/4" extra length for the thickness of the holds.

Okay, there are two ways to go about this, the lamp post comes with anchor screws. I dug a hole about 10 inches by twice the diameter of the actual base, used high strength Quickcrete and just embedded the screws with the base into the concrete (you have let the cement "kick" a little before you attempt this as it'll sink if you go a little crazy with the water while mixing) You have to make sure you're level with the base as well because you don't want a "leaning tower of Pisa" which is why you have to let it set-up a little before you shove the bolts into the wet cement and GENTLY tip the base level (you need a level) and let it set-up overnight before you assemble the rest of the post...keep in mind I'm a mason by trade so I got the mix down to a science (after setting up 6 of these for various neighbors as well as my own three). A buddy of mine came up with a better plan, though. He dug a hole big enough for a cement block, buried it on it's side, put some Quickcrete around it to make sure it was stable (and level) and just drilled into the block to set his base (after he let it set-up overnight). Pretty smart and it works just fine. We've had a couple of real gusty wind/rain storms and his set-up is still standing nice and straight (like mine). Good Luck!

Mine went into 2-3 inches of concrete like it was butter.....well, almost. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole first and then a 3/8 hole to put in epoxy and a piece of 5/16 allthread rod (4 places) to mount a garden hose reel securely. (Now I don't have to stand on the hose reel to stabilize it......I just crank away.) This is a homeowner's dream ...... but NOT contractor's grade (add a few hundred $ more for a high-quality/use it all day contractor's tool).

You will have to use the appropriate brick wall type anchor which may be plastic or metal-based. I would recommend a screw/anchor combination about 1.5 inches in length to get the proper grip. here is a link to an article that may help: http://www.ehow.com/how_5817520_drill-anchors-brick-wall.html

use lead anchors for concrete or lock walls. Try different sizes fr your hardware store to find the right size

They are not designed for concrete. There is a specific type of drill and bits for concrete and masonry. So you would ideally want to use a hammer drill with a masonry bit. There are drills that have a hammer switch setting for concrete that work well with masonry bits in concrete.

I used screws in Sheetrock, so you could easily use a masonry (cement) drill but and pre-drill holes for masonry screws. Or you could get some 3m double sides tape a a local home store and use that (just clean the cinder blocks really well with a clearer so the tape sticks well.

You will need a concrete slab or a concrete stem wall to anchor base. We poured a concrete slab that was 4 inches wider and 4 inches longer than the overall dimensions.

i would suggest get appropriate size concrete anchor screw if you want to mount on concrete floors. take the bottom plate off and take it to hard ware store to match it with the largest size anchor bolts you can get.

Yes, just drill with a masonry bit and use an anchor. You can also consider glue. Also consider alternate places to mount it.

The box I received didn't have the right bolts for a concrete wall. The part you workout is great but I would strongly advise to get a stronger bolt for masonry from you local home improvement store. Also ensure how much weight the bolt is made to endure orit might break under a workout load. I hoe that helps you.

There are many fasteners available from hardware stores and even Walmart. The easiest is a plastic anchor and screw. You'll need a masonary bit and drill. Drill the hole. Insert the plastic anchor. Screw in the screw.
