Hi all
I have made external shade blinds - a 19mm wooden batten running through a pocket sewed into shade cloth. Each blind is approximately 3m wide and not very heavy.
I want to attach the blinds to the brickwork above the windows. They will be taken down each autumn.
I bought Tapcon brand self tapping masonry screws but I'm concerned about screwing and unscrewing them a couple of times a year to remove the blinds.
Hooks in the brickwork would be better I think - I could put these into the wall and put eyelet hooks on the batten. But couldn't find anything suitable at Bunnings.
All suggestions appreciated.
