How to anchor a screening frame in front of a colorbond fence?

Clai8277

I’m looking to create a screen wall against a colour bond fence but need to support the weight with anchors. I Had thought I’d use half stirrup anchors but just realised the hole to drill into the timber frame are too high.... any suggestions? Am I using the wrong product to support the weight of the frame? 

I planned to use 300mm half stirrups which I’d concreted in and a 200mm version drilled into a exisiting concrete slab at one point of the fence. Framing timber is 70 x 30.

There are a few options that I can see;

1) if the height of bottom of the screen isn't critical place some timber blocks in the stirrups to lift your support rail up to where you can bolt it in. 

2) if the height of that rail is critical, make up a right angle plate that you can screw to the top of the timber and bolt it to the stirrups through holes aligned to those in the stirrups. 

(If don't want it to show, use a straight plate and notch it into the side of the support rail.)

3) Drill some new holes in the stirrups and put some short bolts and nuts in the existing holes as visual dummies.
