  • That looks absolutely pin sharp! Very nice. I think your wall looks substantially more solid than mine. I'm worried that if I were to drill down only 120mm, mount the post and then lean on it to try to straighten it, there's a fair chance that I'd just tear the top 2 courses of bricks off. Having said that, there is one place that I can't get to the face of the wall easily as it's behind my shed, so I may try out that approach for that one post.

  • I would be a bit more concerned about a single skin wall carrying the wind load, especially as it's a fence not a trellis but as you've already had a fence fitted it must be quite stable/sheltered.

    When I fitted them I checked they were upright before/during the cement drying (which is very quick), if you've drilled larger holes than the threaded bar there's 10 degrees play. There's limited force involved in moving them 5 degrees or so to get them spot on once the trellis is going up.

    Try it behind the shed and see how you get on.
