Hi @jspyau,

Before drilling into your eaves, it’s important to consider the age of your home. If it was built before 1995, the fibre cement sheeting may contain asbestos. Drilling or cutting into asbestos-containing material can release hazardous fibres.

If you're unsure of the age or whether the material contains asbestos, it’s best to have it tested or consult a licensed asbestos professional before proceeding.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @jspyau

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about mounting your camera on your eave.

I propose looking at using either the Cobra 5 x 60mm Flip Toggle Anchor Screws/Bit - 10 Pack or the Tox M6 Flip Toggle Bolt. These fixings use a pull to clasp fixing system so it does not matter how thick the material is it will hold on to the surface very well. My best advice is to follow the instructions very well so that you get a tight fit on the toggles.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
