Anyone have a good trick for installing a ledger on a block wall?
Wall is not poured with concrete or ribar reinforced.
Not an ideal place to install a ledger for a lean to build using an existing exterior garage wall.
i was thinking the only way to really make it half safe is to tapcon the exterior ledger and tapcon and interior one in the same spot then run bolts and washers through them both to sandwich the block without tightening so much that it cracks the block.
Could also get a little overzealous and run some support boards under the exterior ledger to the paved driveway underneath for floor to ledger support.
I’ve attached ledgers to poured walls with proper anchors but never to a hollow block wall.
Any ideas?
I’m not considering epoxy or pouring walls.
