I want to hang a basketball goal above the garage, and our house is brick.
Here are three options I've considered:
1)Hang two 3 ft. long 1x4's on the inside of the garage securing them into studs using screws, and then running the bolts from the outside through the brick and the 1x4's.
2) Cut out the sheetrock to expose the studs. Run the bolts (3/8") through the brick & studs. Repair sheetrock.
3) Hang two appx. 3 ft. long 2x4's on the exterior of the garage and run the bolts through the 2x4's into the bricks. I could use a combination of wall anchors and long screws that screw into the studs.
Which do you recommend? Why?
The total weight of the goal and mount is just at 100 lbs.
TIA
