I am planning to build a canopy with 100x100 mm wooden beams on top of a wall made of lecablocks, and I'm considering how to attach the upright columns to the wall (marked in green below).
One option I am considering is to drill into the wall and attach a post shoe like the one below with anchor adhesive. What makes me hesitant is that the post shoe only extends 250 mm into the wall and is thus anchored in just one block. Is this sufficient or should I find a solution where I drill deeper and use a long threaded rod? Or some other solution? I'm a bit concerned that the lateral force might be too great during strong winds. Grateful for suggestions.
Anchor adhesive usually holds well, but there's a risk that the concrete block might tear apart instead. At the same time, the question is how strong the wind will be.
In the picture, it looks like the roof is also supposed to sit flush against the house. If you just secure it properly there, and make the construction rigid and nice (so it doesn't wobble out of the concrete block), then the roof definitely shouldn't blow away.
