Through bolt fastening is required if the mortar joint will not
support the members. Bore a hole through the wall. Use
a 3/8in [M10] diameter threaded rod with a washer, nut,
and jam nut on each end. It may be necessary to install
a back-up plate (steel or wood) when the wall will not
support the bolt.
Install through bolts with 3/8in [M10] fasteners a minimum
of every 4ft [1.2m] with appropriate fasteners lling in the
remaining holes.
