securing 2/x4 to masonary

[Homerboy]

I need to secure a 4 foot 2x4 to a brick wall (technically two 2x4 to two walls - one red brick, one cinder block)
It will not be carrying much of a load - just one end of a small fence.

I assume just some masonry bolts? And get a masonry bit to drill the holes?

Bolts and anchors should do it. I would be leery of trying redheads in cinder block, just regular plastic or lead anchors. If you have/can borrow a hammer drill, it makes drilling the holes a lot easier.

You might get away with Titian screws or Tap Cons. Sounds like most of the load will be sheer.

add some adhesive and the load on the fasteners goes way down.

Great, now I have sticky nuts.

Use a treated board. Set it on the ground to handle the weight so that the anchors are only for side to side movement. Put a piece of a shingle or similar under it to aid in water and insect deterrence.

Not to mention the load making things sheer
