    One way to do it. You can use an electric drill. Then just hammer some metal fixings or raw plugs into the concrete.

    A year late here, but love the planters you created, but if I could offer any sort of recommendations, if you ever have to remove cross bearers from used pallets in the future use a medium to heavy engineers ball pin hammer and centre punch and push old nails through the slats until all the block are removed from the slats, if you are going to reuse the square blocks you can rotate the blocks to reveal virgin wood surface’s.
