    hi guys
    need some advice.i'm going to put up a cantilever wall bracket for a tv into a concrete wall.
    would bolts be more secure than screws, and if so, how do you
    secure rawlplug rawbolts into the wall?
    does the hole diameter have to be wider,by how much?
    any advice pro or con for screws/bolts much appreciated.

    1 x 7mm brown rawl plug will hold 30 kilos in weight,so 4 plugs would hold 120 kilos in weight.

    Thats the weight os a small 1 litre car engine.

    So it will hold a tv bracket and TV.:)

    7mm masonary bit for 7mm brown plug

    8mm drill bit for 8mm blue plug.

    No need for bolts as Paddy said.
    Did the fixing screws and plugs not come with the bracket? They certainly do with some.

    A bracket for a 22 inch TV will be fairly light in weight,and so too will a 22 inch flat screen TV.

    7mm masonary drill bit.
    Hammer action drill.

    4 x 7mm brown rawl plugs and screws.

    Mount the bracket to the wall,screw the TV to the bracket.

    Job done.:)
