It's a wonder it stayed up that long!

[Lozzer]

Nope, not what you're thinking
I know we're having a bit of windy weather, but you don't need to be a structural engineer to know those fixings were nowhere near adequate enough, the mind boggles, what a shame

 

[2b1ask1]

Yep; I'd be asking how they got signed off!

 

[Oneball]

Bad installation I reckon, the grouting was crappy. I’d also put money on the unused holes being the designed ones.

If you look at the bolts only 2 of them were holding it in place the others failed long ago.

 

[Scaf]

That’s a joke surely

My patio umbrella has better fixings than that

 

[alfatwo]

No money!

That's what happens when you use solvent free no nails.
Vegan builders clearly...

I mistakenly bought some solvent free sealant once , I realised my mistake when I didn't get high as soon as I cut the top off , I thought I'll still use it until I read the instructions , suitable for showers, I think it was 3 days before it set , that would've been nice , 3 days without a shower , back to b&q for the proper stuff

I am a water based paint convert though , for years I ignored it but as long as you key the surface so it sticks it doesn't yellow like the solvent based paint and dries fast

bugger me who designed the structural anchorage stevie wonder, the forces on that would of been immense and some serious structural calculations should have been in place

I've drilled further to hang my kitchen units up.

My carport only has to hold a light weight perspex roof but it has more substantial fixings than that, maybe that's why it still there despite the recent weather

The local borough counsel couldn't give a s*it when it was installed!
