Well, I went to HDepot on my way home and for $1.93 bought 10" long 1/2" wide lag bolt. For $4.50 I could have bought the same but galvanized
but I figured for this the cheaper the better (actually galvanized is not smooth so it will go in harder than non-galvanized).
And also, as after having spent $2 for the screw I felt like I was on a spending spree, I bought a vice. I decided not to go for light duty 4" for $25, then looked at the same size regular duty for $49 and then I saw a 6" regular duty for $69 and this is what I bougt.
An additional benefit - they are heavi as heck, about 40 lbs and so even though I am not going to mount them now, the sheer weight of that thing should work as the anchor.
So I am all set for the weekend to but that boxed cap's out of its shell.
PS. The dame of my heart has not found out of this yet. But when she does, maybe she takes pity on me as making me carry this piece of iron back to the car would be cruel.
