You may want to see how they mounted your kitchen wall cabinets and try to duplicate that.

Agreed.

Kitchen cabinets

Tom,

Thanks for the suggestion; however, my kitchen cabinets are mounted to an interior call screwed to the 2 x 4 studs.

No luck with Tapcons

I tried three times using Tapcons (always following the instructions to the letter) and had less than satisfactory results.  One time was on a concrete floor and many just broke off requiring me to use my Dremel with a cutoff disk to cut off the protruding broken end.  The other two times were trying to attach my steel 5 shelf units to the vertical concrete block wall for stability.  Although I tried two different sizes of Tapcons (with the suggested drill and drill bit type) they pulled out easily from the wall.  I've had no such pull out problems with the led anchors.

YMMV

Sorry to hear you have had no luck with Tapcons. Fortunately, I have had great success with them. You know you have to install them with a hammer drill and really lean on it, right? In my experience a regular drill is not so good with Tapcons.

Used a hammer drill & the proper bit

I used a hammer drill, but to no avail.

Latitude Problem

Maybe it is that southern concrete! Here up north it is so dang cold all you have to do is wet it and it will freeze solid to the wall.

Move!

This is hurricane resistant construction? If all else fails, move back to where walls will support your layout - - LOL! Glad to see you have a workaround. Patience, fortitude and Bob Humdee's Bigger Hammer Theory should get you through. Keep us posted.

Ellwood and Maybell say "Howdy."

Make the layout all one piece.

Art,

Very interesting idea - I will have to give that some thought.  Thanks!
