Use anchors or move it a little left or right.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a fence company and drill in concrete often You can epoxy the hole and press the lag into it You can purchase at Lowes or any hardware store
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Slide it over at least an inch and re drill them, unless it's ultra tight quarters you'll never notice.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Problem with anchors are they can pull out. I would suggest either using larger bolts which would mean you would have to possibly drill out the base plate to accomodate them, or just mount in a slightly different spot and just fill the holes. If in brick you can fill with mortar... if in concrete fill with hydraulic cement and then drill the new holes in the new location. That is what i would do if i ever made that mistake.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Put the holes directly above previously drilled holes
