| Looks like the best place to ask...
I've got a 3 bay concrete block garage and the center bay is becoming a pool room. A friend that worked Ozzfest last year got me some awesome pvc type banners with metal grommets for hanging. I'm a landscaper, not so much the indoor DIY guy... Have drill, ladder and tape measure, lol. Assuming I may need specific drill bits/mounting hardware? Any advice very much appreciated! Wes P.S. I'll get ya some pics once I'm done! |

| Edit to add, I've done a few Googles and know I'll need masonry bits but the hammer drill seems like overkill for perhaps 8-12 small holes. Thinking of drilling away from the grommets and using short bungie cords to keep tension? Guessing someone here has done something similar? Thanks! Wes |

| make sure you drill into the mortar not the block itself. You could crack it. Use concerte anchors |

| Thanks, that's along with what I was thinking. I figured I'd need some sort of hardware such as the bungie cords for tension but haven't gotten started yet. Wes |

| Tapcons in wither the block or the mortar joints should be fine. Drilling into the mortar joints will be stronger. Use at least a 1.5 inch screw. |
