ive seen these used sticking out of concrete, the bend acting as the anchor… then the wood is bolted to this.
I could see but it seems like a washer would be a much easier way to do this rather than bending like that
Even with a washer, the head of a straight bolt won’t hold very well in concrete when you go trying to tighten it, it’ll most likely start spinning and possibly even damage the concrete.
I’ve had to help someone tighten a bolt like this before. It was used to attach the deck assembly to the underside of a riding lawnmower.
What a remarkable bolt! Can it come and do my place when it’s finished?
Very strange, but looks prebent
At my old job we had some of these on the wall for hanging our hardhats.
