This looks great!
One thing that I learned from help my old man do stone walls, specifically hanging gates on them, is that they like to fall apart. We ended up using big iron straps for added support.

Kinda of grafted over the top of the wall? It is a bit of a concern tbh: A) how susceptible to wind/human damage the finished structure will be, and B) whether drilling in to the capping stone will shake them loose again. Not sure I've come up with an adequate solution just yet. I could just set the fence above inside the wall but it would make the garden feel smaller and I wouldn't be able to fully appreciate the fruits of my labour. The other side has some cranked custom made metal posts. I could get something similar made maybe.

Garden wall renovation now 70% done. The other 30 will have to wait until I can get my rotting shed out the way. Gave up on core drilling the stones for fence brackets as the 300mm core bit only had a 200mm pilot drill, not sure how that is supposed to work. Also the stones are hard as fuck so don't think it would have worked anyway. Going to try constructing my own slatted panels above as a way around the slightly uneven spacing of brackets.
