Hanging Garment
What is the best solution for installing a garment rack on a concrete wall?

This garment rack is going to be 6ft. in length and needs to support at least 275 lbs. and needs to be far enough away from a wall to hang elegant gowns. Would like specific information on masonry bit/screw size to wall, opinion on materials and designs of rack.

What you need are screws called TAP-CONS that screw into concrete. Just go to your local hardware store and buy some. They are blue, so hard to miss. Then you need to find the right masonary bit for that screw. (Just ask someone that works there, or read the package) The right screw depends on the thickness of your concrete wall. You can generally go %75 of the thickness of your wall. This will support well more than your required 275 pounds. Then you can design your own rack, treat it like a wood wall. You need at least one lag bolt per foot. This will suport about 600 pounds at 6 feet.

You can get brackets that are 2 foot long, and are shaped to hold a bar at the end, for hanging clothes. You will need to secure those to the wall usnig method described above, hang the bar, and you are ready to go.
