Tek Screws

[uksparks]

Hi,

I am just about to buy a load of tek screws for a job in a week or so, fixing tray to the outside of a steel clad building.

I was looking on the screwfix website and their ones and people say they are rubbish.

Just wondered where you lot get them from and if they are any good?

we get ours from screwfix, £15 a box and there good.

they use a ph2 bit though and every man and his dog tries it with a pz2 and says there crap lol

which ones do you get? theres Timco or Rawlplug?

I hate people that are incapable of using the correct screwdriver end!! One of my pet hates!

 

[uksparks]

oh also, would you go with 5.5 or 6.3?

I was going to go with the slightly bigger ones.

Thanks, I was going to go with ones with rubber washers etc in, do you think i should not bother?

I would if what you are fixing into has the foam Inbetween the sheets of metal.

Just out of interest are you going to be fitting unistrut brackets to fix the tray? I assume you're not planning on just screwing it to the metalwork because you'll never get your ties in...

If you are fitting brackets then the tek screws will be miles too short and IMO not a suitable fixing

if he is, drill bits and wood screws would work

25mm tek screws to fix it in to metal should be ok then roofers and zebs

im going to use a bit of tray, and bolt it straight to the stand off bracket, im not using unistrut, just the stand offs.

The wall I think has nothing in it, certainly nothing where I can see it.

I presumed tek screws either 25mm or 45mm long would be ok for the small stand offs?

Im off to bed now, but had one in the garage so will put a photo of exactly what I mean up in the morning.
