This is a product I have never heard of ,and I see it’s available at Amazon
Thank Dan . I found them on Amazon.ca . One box was over $200, but I found a 12 pack for under $40. I may need two boxes though .Try someplace that deals with the concrete trade...maybe Acklands(?).
Or BC Fasteners.
Maybe these?
Sleeve Anchors - Flat Head Zinc - BC Fasteners & Tools
Not quite what you wanted, but close?
National Concrete Accessories have them...

I agree Don , as I’m a pro at starting ten projects at once, but not completing any .Rick Rick Rick this is why your shop isn't insulated. You would get a work out if you would insulate your shop. What are we going to do with you??? :wink:
I think Rick has his priorities in order. First order of business is to find a woman who will put up with him before all hope is lost. He doesn't want to spend his twilight years in the cold frozen north all alone. To that end, he needs to be in top physical condition to offset the inevitable ravages of age. Once he has secured the affections of a female, maybe she will help him insulate.Rick Rick Rick this is why your shop isn't insulated. You would get a work out if you would insulate your shop.

Well I had a good belly laugh there . Unfortunately I don’t think there’s to many woman that could cope with me lol .I think Rick has his priorities in order.

Good point Charles , and in that case I may as well just go for the floating look , as it will best to secure it anyways .Rick if you have a heavy load around the middle of the uprights then2 x on the flat can bow outward. I would use either the tapcons or what Otis suggested for a couple or 3 attachments between ends. I've used something like what Otis linked to for drywall and it is the only thing I'll use when I need to hang something that will have a load on it. I haven't seen then larger and longer for cinder block yet but I would use them if I could find them. They're made so that when you tighten the screw the tip flattens out to a t shape similar to a toggle bolt but with a smaller hole and easier to install.
Well, you certainly know how to pick 'em! Maybe you should fish in some other water . . .Well I had a good belly laugh there . Unfortunately I don’t think there’s to many woman that could cope with me lol .
Tried more than a few times , and never ended well :grin:
And unfortunately my sweetie is spoken for . But Erin was born with a boyfriend . So there was no chance there![]()
After doing a lot of searching on the internet, seems like Tapcon and Construction adhesive is the preferred way to go. But it is recommended that if the load is over 100# that 2X4 legs under the bottom 2X4 rail should be used.Good point Charles , and in that case I may as well just go for the floating look , as it will best to secure it anyways .
I’m thinking of not going into a hollow spot on the block ,so the Togglers won’t work,so I’m debating to use the double expanding metal ones that Dan mentioned
