I want to hang a Rubber Maid closet System to a poured concrete wall.?
Thanks for the help folks.
What are the best solutions on mounting to wall?
Weight will be finished laundry. If you check the link below the weight requirments are for moderate -medium…..? I dont think this way I like poundage etc…
Walls are clean and well maintained.
Would It be any better to mount a wood frame?
Sounds ridiculouse to me but then I have no clues.
Would adding a adhesive to the holes for screws or sealer make a difference for me?
4-8ft option

Help is appreciated.
Ok, I checked out that closet system and you can easily hang that with the tapcon screws mentioned above, but to drill the holes you need a hammerdrill. The hammerdrill allows you to drill into the concrete where a regular drill just wont do it. You also need a concrete drill bit, but that is supplied with the tapcons. Pick up a level and maybe have a friend give you a hand. Take your time and have fun.
If there are wood rafters overhead, or other wood structures to which attachment can be made, I would use them, as attaching things to concrete is a pain. If you must go into concrete, you will need to make holes with a star drill or masonry bit, and use expansion anchors in the holes to attach stuff. The job is messy, nasty, and not guaranteed of good results.

I would use wood frame mounted to the concrete wall. When mounting the frame use a good long concrete screw, I would also put a good wood/concrete adhesive on the frame that is connected to the concrete wall.

I checked out the other answers, and the Tapcon systems works pretty well. You should know that a commercial/industrial solution exists with a ‘lag shield insert’. This also involves using a rotary hammer drill with masonry bit, as Tapcon does, but of a larger diameter. The hardware is generally larger, and thus provides greater shear strength. Also available at Home Depot and the like. The one problem I have with Tapcon is the occasional stripping of the hole, possibly where the concrete aggregates are significantly different, but in close proximity.The diameter of the hole is critical with this system,as is depth and straightness.
