How do you install these? Do they work on brick steps??

You can install them in brick w You can install them in brick. You would need a masonry bit and a cement screw. Just a head up my light only lasted a couple of month and the battery went bad. You can buy better battery to replace then they cost about $14 for a set of 4

These are designed for wooden steps though I suppose it MIGHT be possible to brick steps. There are probably better suited products for brick but I personally wouldn't try it.

use sand bags or fill with sand - per instructions that should have come with your steps.Also, ours have brackets on the handrail that are to mount to the deck.

They will only work on the incline of the stable...they won't work on a flat surface...they are really cute and I hope this answers your question. Thanks

Yes, you can mount to brick. It mounts vertically on the wall. Use a masonry bit and plastic inserts for screws.

I think you would need a special drill bit. I actually mounted mine to the frame of my exterior door (which is wood) where the previous house numbers were placed, so I didn't have to deal with the issue of mounting to brick. Sorry this isn't very helpful!

Hi Rosemary,I will depend on the mounting surface, If you are mounting it to wood with nails or screws it should not be a problem. If it is to brick if you want the same result as wood you have to make sure the brick nails are as straight and as close to the brick surface as possible. I hope this helps, sorry for the delayed response.

I used these for installing them on a brick wall, no anchors necessary just drill and screw. Definitely a lot of elbow grease, but they are solid as a rock! http://www.homedepot.com/p/Tapcon-1-4-in-x-2-3-4-in-Polymer-Plated-Steel-Hex-Washer-Head-Indoor-Outdoor-Concrete-Anchors-75-Pack-24330/100098197

There are prongs inside the "bricks" that stick them in the ground. There really is no way to stack them other than shorten the two 'prongs' and use some sort of adhesive. It would really take a lot of work, and since they're hollow, any rise or depression in the ground would make the row go up or down. Only putting them in packed, flat sand might work (for the first row), but the 2nd row would have to have the two prongs cut back, UNLESS you drilled holes in the EXACT right spot on the 1st layer of bricks..then used adhesive. You're looking at a difficult job there. Hope I could help. There are prongs inside the "bricks" that stick them in the ground.

it should bc the screws are pretty long. i am not sure what is needed to mount items to brick.

I believe you drill and use lead anchors. But how strong is the brick wall? Might want to discuss with a masonry contractor.

I have 2 attached to the brick in front of our house and two on our wooden deck rail. I used a hammer drill with masonry bit to drill pilot holes (instructions show how big holes need to be) and inserted supplied anchors and screws. For wood the supplied screws go straight in and you will not need to use the blue anchors. Hope this helps.

If they hit the bricks, of course they will. You should look into some adhesive hangers.

My husband fastened ours to brick wall with special inserts. these can be purchased at any hardware store.

There are brackets for bolts at the base of each upright. I bolted mine to the wooden steps. FYI, when I went out to look, I noticed there is already rust forming at some of the joints, due to inferior finishing (some sort of black paint). If you buy this you might want to spray some black rustoleum on each joint.

Yes and no. It's intended to be temporary. But to make permanent there is a hole in each ramp run at the top. So we used a masonry screw and bolted it to our top step.

my guess is that they will not work with mortar or bricks, but I haven't tried using them for that purpose. They are so much better at the usual task than others of the same size though.

It's been a few months since I installed it, but I believe it does come with instructions for brick/stone wall mounting. You might want to send an e-mail to the company to see for sure.
