Hook for Brick

[cls89]

I recently put up a sunshade umbrella that glides on two cables. I need to attach a hook to the back of the house so I can hook the umbrella to it and help it stay in place. Otherwise, the umbrella slides away over time. Looking for a hook with a plate that has 1 screw hole (not multiple), or a hook with threads that can be screwed into brick (a lot of the ones I see are meant for wood). Any recommendations? Thanks

A quality masonry anchor should fill your needs.

....and be aware that "messing around" with the top 3, 4 or 5 courses of a brick wall with a hammer drill and hammering in a shield..... there's a possibility of "popping" a mortar joint horizontally.

in-laws have something similar and use a couple spring clamps to hold in place.

Interesting. They clamp the sunshade to the cable / wire?

Sorry for late response, yes thats how they do it. Then when not needed they push the sunshade under the eave and clamp it out of the way.
