Some pictures would help!
Strange, I uploaded them to Webshots and they appear fine when I preview the post.

Hopefully I'll have better luck with Webshots this time as it seems to dislike direct linking. I've bought a Krall anchor:



and need to site it in my garage, which is internal to the house. I have some shelves etc at the back of the garage which I don't want to move, so I'm looking at siting the anchor down one of the sides of the garage somewhere. I have some brickwork jutting out on both sides, so I'm hoping that these corners will afford the anchor a little protection.

First option is here:




Second option:




Last option:




Thanks in advance.

Not passed yet chaps, but asked my instructor to keep an eye out for a bike for me - so just getting ready.

The floor is carpet tiles, as I like doing my own maintenance where I can and hate a dusty garage floor. I've previously sealed and painted floors in other garages, but found that the sticky tyres of my Caterham lifted the paint up, so this time I just went for tiling.

Thanks for the advice Steve, I was hoping to fit the anchor ready for when I have my bike. Obviously I won't have the same bike forever, so was going to site it now rather than wait until I have my first bike?
