How to attach folding table to brick wall?

[CROBBO]

Hi there,

I'm going to install a folding desk on the inside brick wall of my garage. I will be using a drill with hammer mode. I also have a level. The desk will be used for light craft applications and won't be exceeding 20kgs of items on it at a time. When upright, I want the surface to be roughly 80cm up from the ground so that it can be used from a seated position.

I'm looking to purchase the following –

Carinya Folding Spring Loaded Bracket x2

Specrite 1200 x 600 x 18mm Golden Teak Acacia Panel

I have a few questions and would be grateful for any help before I get started –

• Will the Carinya brackets be sufficient for holding up the desk? The panel used for the desk weighs 7.6kg. The bracket length is 315mm and will be running along the 600mm side of the panel. 
• What type/size of screws/bolts will I need to attach the Carinya brackets to the brick wall? I'm unsure if anchors or dynabolts are suitable.
• What size screws will I need to attach the desk to the brackets?
• Any advice for how best to go about this task?
  – Do I attach the desk first to the brackets, then mount to the wall?
  – OR do I attach the brackets to the wall first before mounting the desk?
• Anything else I've missed! 😀

Thank you!

Hi @CROBBO,

It would physically fit in the chuck, but the prongs may line up awkwardly with the slots in the SDS bit, which can cause it to wobble.

I'd also be very careful if there is any wobble, as there's a chance it could snap, which would leave you with a drill bit stuck in the wall.

You could give it a try, but I'm not sure how effective it would be. If you wanted to be more certain, the 2-cut bit is made for this style of chuck, so it would give you more surety, at the expense of a bit of effort.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Jacob
