Reposition the post and drive one tapcon-style concrete screw through each pilot hole in the post. Drive the screws in until the they reach the bottom of the 1-inch countersink hole and run the head flush with the bottom of that hole, using a cordless drill. Position the pilot-drilled po...

Wall Control pegboard panels can be installed into concrete or on a concrete block wall although we do not provide mounting hardware for concrete installations.
