Refurbishing Your Concrete, Block, Brick, or Stucco Wall with Bamboo Fencing Materials

If you have a nice cordless drill you can makeover any concrete wall. All you need is a friend, some concrete screws 2"3/4 (Tapcons work well), a concrete drill bit (comes with the box of screws), and some treated 2x4s.(cedar or pine)...

Here's what you are going to do...

First you will be anchoring your 2x4s to the wall running horizontally. One will be attached near the top and one near the bottom (as shown to the right).

It is important to make sure your 2x4s are running level along the wall. You can use an existing mortar line or just use a level and make marks on the wall where you are going to attach your 2x4s.

1) Drill hole through your 2x4 into base material using the drill bit provided with the screws. The depth of the hole must be at least 1/4" deeper than the concrete screw embedment

2) Insert point of concrete screw into hole and drive screw in using a nut drive or #3 bit tip. Do not over torque the screw.

3) Fasten three or four screws in each 8' 2x4. This will be plenty.

4) Once you have fastened your 2x4s along the length of the wall you can refer back to step one of the wooden fence installations to attach the bamboo. Done!!
