Are these fixings suitable for outdoor use?

Troubleshooting

The fixing is spinning in the hole during tightening.

Ensure the hole size is correct (8mm) and the substrate is suitable. If the hole is too large, consider using a different fixing or filling the hole with a suitable filler before re-drilling.

The fixing doesn't seem to be holding securely.

Check the hole depth (minimum 45mm) and the substrate type. Ensure the screw is fully tightened without over-tightening. If necessary, use a longer fixing.
