Got Holes?

[louieagarcia]

Anyone in the Houston area have a concrete core drill to rent or provide this service???

I'm about to build a pergola on my patio (DIY section soon) and need a few 8-10" holes cored out of my patio slab.

I checked with a industrial equipment rental co. in town, but wanted to see if anyone on the GS did this kind of work.

Any info is appreciated! Many thanks!

If you are doing that for your poles/posts, you may look into the metal straps that you can hilti screw into concrete and into boards. Very sturdy and may be cheaper than hole /bore machine. This way you can use a concrete bit on your regular drill or rent/borrow a hilti drill from lowes or Home Depot.

GCR, thanks...that is an option. Going to see if I can get them into the slab first, but I'll keep this in mind! Thanks again
