In this video I'm showing how we fasten our wood forms to concrete. We do a lot of forming for the concrete we pour. One of the things we are responsible to do is form off the garage door openings when we pour a new floor inside the foundation.

The best way we have found to fasten our wooden forms to the concrete foundation is by using a hammer drill, drilling a hole into the concrete, then securing the form with a tapcon screw.

Once the board is tapcon screwed to the concrete, it will not come off until you're ready to remove the forms. This method works much better than using a hammer and concrete nail, or a Ramset and concrete nail. 

The tapcon screw pulls the form really tight to the concrete and doesn't come loose. This is the method we use for our forming and the way I recommend you to try it.
