I would recommend you add wood strips to block secured by concrete anchors, then mount panels to strips.

Just use Tapcons! MKT Steel Conset Masonry Screw Anchor, Phillips Flat Head, 3/16" Diameter x 1-3/4" Length (Box of 100)

You will need a hammer drill and a concrete bit. Both available on Amazon or Home Depot. I used concrete screws and the panels went up without a hitch.

Yes you can. Mine is on slanted ceiling I just cut a block to the angle and mounted to flat side of block . And it works awesome

My house doesn't have cinder block walls, but I hung mine in a window and it works well. I'm also about 50 miles from a transmitter. I have noticed that the sun position in the sky does affect some of the stations during some times of the day.

Yes, I mounted mine to a concrete wall. It is mounted solid. I have not had any problems.

Yes you can mount in on the wall. That's how I have mine setup. You can turn the mounting brackets 90 degrees and screws it in the wall. It's not going to look pretty but gets the job done

Yes. Mine is in the basement against the wall but not attached. So far, so good.

I imagine that you would have to use the proper hardware (i.e.screws/bolts) for concrete block walls, and make sure that the heads of the screws/bolts fit into the channels in the mounting bar.

My walls are cinderblock and I can not give you an honest answer. The system is kinda heavy for drywall. I personally would prefer to attach it to a stud through a wall but have to use mollybolts.

Mine mounts in the basement and vents out through the wall via PVC pipe....

I gave one to my son, and he mounted his directly to his wood-sided house with no mounting block needed. However, if you do need a mounting block, a 6" x 6" x 1" piece of wood would do nicely. He loves his, and I can definitely recommend it.

Hi Rosemary,I will depend on the mounting surface, If you are mounting it to wood with nails or screws it should not be a problem. If it is to brick if you want the same result as wood you have to make sure the brick nails are as straight and as close to the brick surface as possible. I hope this helps, sorry for the delayed response.

I'm wondering the same thing.Considering the purchase if I can run on it in the basement.

I've mounted them on drywall and on plywood in a chicken coop, even though the instructions clearly state that it shouldn't be used outside. Worked fine for years! I haven't tried mounting to cinder blocks, but if you can drill into them and provide the right connectors, then there's no reason that it can't be done.

yes you can just mount it with anchors, but depends on the house you live in and how heavy your equipment is :) You can also find a stud or mount it onto a board too :)

As long as you have beams over head to attach your supports to. I have two of them suspended from the garage ceiling, and neither one is near a wall. That way you have access from either side to load storage boxes.

I think it would be difficult. As a casual homeowner, I've never had much success at mounting anything to a brick wall. And if you're talking about putting substantial weight on it, I don't see how it could hold. Perhaps some commercial type fastener would do it, but nothing that I'm aware of.

You should be able to install it on the wall. you probably have to snake the wire behind the sheetrock.
