Thanks for this and the previous reply. I'm still not sure I totally understand what that picture is showing. Are the uprights sitting in "shoes" bolted down to the top of the wall, are the uprights thru-bolted into the face of the wall, or are they sort of hovering above it with the threaded rod going vertically down into the wall?

It's square cut, the top of the wall is sloped. The post doesn't touch the wall, that's deliberate. You can also set the post upright (or otherwise if that works better) by bending the threaded rod. So you eliminate all the vagaries of garden wall construction.
I decided to join the panels to the face of the post butted together, you can put them either side if you prefer that look.
Of course my carpentry skills are not that rated round these parts :)
