How do you attach timber to concrete?
First of all position your timber in place and pre-drill (if necessary) the hole (in the timber) where you want the concrete anchor to go. Personally l don’t pre drill.

Also asked, how do you attach wood to concrete without drilling?Here is a very easy method for attaching that wood to concrete without using all those concrete anchors. You will need a hammer drill, 20 ounce hammer and some 16d nails. Insert a 1/4″ masonry drill bit, 4 or 6 inches long, into the hammer drill. Drill through the wood and into the concrete.Furthermore, can you glue wood to concrete? Two types of glue work well for gluing sill plates; all-purpose construction adhesive and two-part epoxy designed specifically for gluing wood to concrete. Epoxy glue systems are made specifically for concrete-to-wood applications and are more expensive. Construction adhesive is cheaper, but you can use more of it. Moreover, how do you attach battens to concrete? Battens are attached to the floor by drilling a pilot hole through the batten and concrete, and attaching a frame fixing. Cut the battens to fit the room. Lay the first batten down on one of the perimeter walls. Put a masonry bit into your drill that is the same width as the frame fixings. How can you protect concrete without drilling?If you are willing to make holes in the concrete but do not want to buy the particular drill bit needed, then the simplest solution is to get nails for your project. Standard nails will not work on concrete, but some nails are made specifically for nailing wood to concrete. Cut nails will also work for this as well.
