I'm in a little spot of trouble here. I am installing a basketball rim onto my block concrete wall. The red head concrete sleeve anchors will not grip and just spin loosely.
I pre-drilled 3/8 holes and cleaned and vaccuumed the holes. But I think I messed up and made the holes too big or got them 'wallowed' whatever that means. So, I am now stuck with 3/8 holes and am wondering if anyone has recommendations.
Choose the location of your basketball hoop. The front or back of the garage will work as long as you have a level playing surface in front of your hoop. Examine the location on the garage to check for loose siding or anything else that may present a problem when mounting your hoop. Measure out the height of the hoop.

Should I use some sort of concrete epoxy to fasten the bolts into the wall. Something like InstantBond. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I have to use the existing holes they are the only place I can mount the rim. Xsleeper thanks, using a backboard is an option I am trying to avoid. But it is my last resort. PJMax, yes, thanks. I am using sleeve anchors that look almost exactly like that. These ones I read elsewhere that people have trouble with these slipping. Hence the epoxy solution that I was hoping would work.
Ray2047, thanks yes, I mean concrete block. I will look into Toggle bolts. My google fu seemed to indicate that epoxy was the best way forward but it seems like that is not a common solution. It sure would be the easiest.
I want to hang a basketball goal above the garage, and our house is brick. Here are three options I've considered: 1)Hang two 3 ft. Long 1x4's on the inside of the garage securing them into studs using screws, and then running the bolts from the outside through the brick and the 1x4's. 2) Cut out the sheetrock to expose the studs. Run the bolts (3/8') through the brick & studs.
Repair sheetrock. 3) Hang two appx.
Long 2x4's on the exterior of the garage and run the bolts through the 2x4's into the bricks. I could use a combination of wall anchors and long screws that screw into the studs. Which do you recommend? The total weight of the goal and mount is just at 100 lbs. Maroonedinaustin said: 1)Hang two 3 ft.
Long 1x4's on the inside of the garage securing them into studs using screws, and then running the bolts from the outside through the brick and the 1x4's. Definitely not strong enough.

3) Hang two appx. Long 2x4's on the exterior of the garage and run the bolts through the 2x4's into the bricks. I could use a combination of wall anchors and long screws that screw into the studs. This is the best option because it ties the studs together, and is easier to attach the goal to the 2x4s. Make sure you pre-drill the brick when using anchors or screws.
