Re: How to anchor patio post to existing slab?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @halla. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about attaching posts to a slab.

Something along the lines of a Pryda 90mm M10 Bolt Down Post Anchor fixed to the slab with Dynabolts should do the job. I presume you might be constructing a pergola, so you might need to enlist the services of an engineer to determine the appropriate attachment if it is of an overly large size. Also, don't forget to consult with the council to see whether you require a permit for your project.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
