I have some small plastic moulded handholds I want to use to create a traversing wall in the garage.
Advice please on what fixings to use for a breeze block wall

Thanks

Best bet is to fix 18mm plywood or possibly chipboard to the wall with regular plastic plugs and screws. Add "t nuts" to boards as required .Fix holds to "t nuts"and set screws. Both "t nuts" and set screws available from hold suppliers and possibly companies like Screwfix. I think the size is 10ml.

you may want to use a chemical anchor and glue battens to the wall with gripfill or similar as breezeblock can be a bit crumbly especialy if you are hanging from it !

I built my 5m traverse wall using 18mm ply wood, screwed to vertical battens fixed to the wall using 5 large rawlbolts per batten. The ply was fitted with 10mm t-nuts every 200mm so I've got a good choice of route options.
If it was easy to put pics up I'd show you!
