Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 May 26, 2015 5:41 pm Saw in a display home the other day a wall that was made out of stained timber posts. The posts appeared to be about 70x70 with a 70-100mm gap in between and went from the floor up to the bulk head which went over the doorway. Just wondering how they work. Reason I ask is there was no sign of them being nailed to anything (and the floor was concrete slab), so all I can assume is there must be some kind of bracket screwed to the floor and the bulk head and the post rather than being solid one piece must be hollow two piece and glued around the bracket to form a solid post. Anyone know where you could buy them from? Wouldn't mind using them in a house the wife and I are building instead of a solid gyproc wall. Re: Timber post wall 2May 26, 2015 7:28 pm One way of fixing a solid post securly to a concrete floor is to use a chemset anchor (http://www.ramset.com.au/Product/Detail ... nchor-Stud) Set the anchor in the floor with the bolt standing around 50mm above floor level, at the centre of the post location. Drill a hole in the base of the post 50mm deep slightly larger than the chemset anchor and push the post onto the anchor. The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !
