The washer under the screw head should seal to the surface of the panel without bulging or shifting.

How do i intall sheet metal screws to cement. In this video i m sharing an easy way to screw into concrete block. Secure the screws but do not overtighten. I used an anchor kit that includes the anchors screws and drill bit link is below. Try the concrete screw first and if it does not grab in the hole you can make the hole larger and insert a plastic or metal expansion shield and install a regular screw to the shed floor.

Use a hammer drill fitted with a carbide tipped masonry bit. Each anchor consists of an unthreaded pin set into a metal sleeve. Set screws first at each end of the metal framing track and then every 3 ft. Drive 1 inch sheet metal screws through the holes in the flange and securely into each anchor.

Drill the metal where you want to anchor it to the concrete. Lay out the position of the track strike chalk lines and drill a hole through the metal and into the concrete the full length of the screw. Install a screw tip attachment in the drill. Repeat the procedure to clean the remaining openings.

If you are attaching something heavy to concrete like a handrail you will need to install the concrete screw farther into the concrete. Use a steel drill bit the size of the bolt for the concrete anchors you are using. Step 2 hold the steel in the position that you want to attach it to the concrete. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel.

Try to get the concrete screw to go at least an inch into the concrete.
