Mounting a fold out rack on cinder block

[iamsmu]

I have a fold out rack that's been sitting in my garage. I'll probably get the floor ready this weekend. So it's time to think about mounting it.

The wall is old cinder block. I don't know if it is hollow of filled. I'd guess hollow.

I figured that I'd install upper and lower 2x10 stringers, probably 5 feet long. My plan was to mount the stringers with tapcons, 2 every 10" or so, or maybe in an X pattern

Then I was planning to mount the brackets for the rack with 1 1/2 lag screws into the stringers.

Does this sound OK?

Hmmm. There are similar kinds of concrete anchors here. I wasn't sure that they've work on hollow block. Tapcons grips pretty damn well in the block. I removed a bunch when I started renovating the garage. I had one freeze in place. I had to grind it off. . . .

They'll probably work fine, I just have a word love of masonry anchors. (BTW, they work well in hollow block)
