Install concrete wall anchors to the wall at the pilot hole locations.
Secure the nailing-in flange to the wall anchors with screws.
Wood Construction
Drill a small pilot hole through the nailing-in flange at each stud. Add shims between the nailing-in
flange and the studs as needed to eliminate gaps.
