Hi. We have a large carport which is not used for cars. I want to put a temporary partition up the middle. I need it to last a couple of years - whole space will be remodelled when I get around to it.

I’m thinking of building a timber stud wall - gyprock lining.

It will be about 4 meters long.

Fixing the temporary wall to the ceiling is no problem.
Fixing to the concrete slab is my problem. I know it would be easy dynabolt to the slab but I really don’t want to drill any holes in the slab as yet.

Is there another way I can fix the bottom plate of a stud wall to a concrete slab?

Cheers
Arron

Anka screws into the concrete. At least they're removable and the holes can be filled.

I mean failing that if the wall is going to be used just as a divider just glue the bottom plate to the cement using something like this

Thanks for the response. I’ll go with a reasonable minimum number of Anka screws.
