How to install new outdoor shutters?
So to give our home a bit more curb appeal I ordered beautiful shutters with the raised panels in Tuxedo Grey since we had just had our home painted grey with a lighter grey as an accent color. The brick is red with grey and a marbled color throughout. Question is, how do I put them up? I am actually going to pick them up today and does anyone know how long it could take? Do I need a specific or special drill bit to drill into the brick? Once they are up, I will post pictures.

Are the shutters wood or vinyl? I would suggest using stainless steel screws to prevent them from rusting over time. You might need to get some cement anchors and will need a masonry drill bit that will go into cement and brick. mark all the areas where you plan on drilling
Just get a masonry bit
Are the shutters simply for show or are they functional (completely close to cover the window)?
If they are for display purposes only, you'll need a drill and a drill bit for brick as well.

If your shutters are funtional, a shutter hinge set comes with them that allows them to open/close.
You'll need a masonry bit and concrete screws and anchors.
