Dude, just buy one you can anchor bolt to the existing concrete. Rent a hds drill and drill the holes out, wind you anchors in and tadaa, your sorted.

Pointless doing an over kill in someone else's garage at your own expense.

Underground garage, presumably a cast concrete floor? Y'all have fun digging that. It's finger-whitening, sweaty, backbreaking work even with a hydraulic breaker.

Get someone else to do it, maybe a local engineering firm who fits fences, gates etc. They will almost certainly have the tools, but won't be cheap.

Yes that is what I did, cost less than £10 for it my neighbour helped me fit as he has a drill and the correct drill bit. It isn't going anywhere.

If its that cast concrete stuff just hire a disk cutter with diamond blade. Chop it up into a lattice and knock out with a big a$$ breaker rod (not sure what they are called). Shouldn't be to hard.

Depends on the thickness and grade of the concrete, a diamond blade will get through anything no trouble. Only problem is if its 300mm thick conc, shouldnt be any more than 150mm maybe 225mm but either way. its doable with a diamond blade.

I'd suggest having a chat with the landlord and asking very nicely if you can install a bolt down anchor, there are plenty out there. If it's put close to the wall, it'll be out of the way and the bike will become it's own guard against attack on the actual anchor.

All you would need is a drill and decent bit.

Good luck and if you get permission, give me a shout, I've got the tools needed.

Pete
