I need a strong way to attach items to a wall.
The method of attaching wood to the surface is determined by the function of the wood item.Heavy or load-bearing items require direct fastening to wall studs or heavy-duty wall anchors, while construction glues suffice for mounting lightweight, decorative items.A power drill can be used to bore through the stucco wall with screws, lag bolts or wall anchors.If you choose to use a contact glue, set it quickly so that you don't have to hold the materials for a long period of time.
You can use a scrub brush and compound to clean the area where you intend to install the wood.Grease and dirt can be removed.The installation area should be wiped with a rag.Allow the area to dry.
To clean the back of the wood, use a rag.Determine the set time for the construction contact adhesive by reading the instructions.
The wood can be brushed or squeezed onto the wall.The wood should be pressed against the stucco.Hold the wood against the stucco for a while.
The wood's surface should be marked with a tape measure and pencil.Attach a wood bit to the power drill and drill through wood.The wood should be held against the stucco surface.Press a pencil through the wood's hole to make a mark on the stucco surface.
Attach the masonry bit to the drill.If you want to penetrate the wall, drill through the stucco surface.The bolt has a screw on it.Place the screw through the hole in the wood.
There is a hole in the stucco.The wood should be flush against the stucco.The screw should be turned clockwise to draw the toggle against the wall's interior.The wood will be securely anchored to the stucco if the screw head rests flush against the wood.
Take a tape measure from the exterior wall corner to the wall's center and locate the studs with a stud finder.16 inches is the center of the stud.Take the thickness of the stucco layer and wall sheathing into account.You can mark the locations with a pencil.
Attach the wood drill bit to the power drill.The smooth portion excludes threads if you choose a bit equal in diameter.There is a hole in the wood.Attach a drill bit to it.Only a hole can be drilled through the stucco at the stud mark.
