• That's what I thought, but then I started seeing diagrams like this that made me think otherwise.

    I'm actually fitting it on top of a rubble wall via some chunky galvanized brackets I have. Post level is a good shout though, there should be the possibility of a bit of shimming to the bracket to get things plumb.

  • Make sure the wall is absolutely sound or the addition of what is effectively a bloody great sail could pull the lot down in a gale!

  • It's as sound as it's going to get for a 100yr old wall, I rebuilt most of it as it was a crumbling mess.

    Fence will be slated, 900mm high and tied in to these two adjacent runs, so I think it'll be fine in regards to wind. It's a fairly sheltered spot anyway do to the adjacent terrace.
