Fixing slatted fence panel atop garden wall

panel (will cut height down to just 450mm) and want to fix on the wall betw een our back doors. It's exposed but the wall is thick (12") and panel shou ld not need massive support, so planning on posts with threaded studs set i nto the wall top with 2-part resin.

hread them into 10mm holes?

Thought about those but the socket would cover almost half the height of th e post so attaching the panel tricky - unless I drilled through?

What you propose is a classic no-no. The forces on fenceposts during strong winds are huge, no top course of a 12" brick wall is going to withstand th at. Think again.

It sounds as if you're planning to support the panel at both ends and in the middle?

I would have thought that just both ends would be sufficient. Will one end butt against the house wall? If so, you don't need a post there - just use a couple of square U-shaped brackets screwed to the wall for the panel to slide into, and then screw through the brackets into the panel.

At the far end, I would be inclined to use a piece of metal channel of the right size to fit round the panel, and about 100mm longer than the height of the panel. Make a hole in the top of the wall, and cement it in.

Yes its going to be very vulnerable in that position. The wind can be a real bugger on fence panels. you do really need some very stout support both ends. Brian

Agreed. You would be more secure if you bolt 2 metre posts to the side of the wall with just 450 mm above, and fix the panel to that. Decent sized coach bolts into big plastic plugs would be fine. I assume you also have support from the party wall at the "house" end. Is there any sort of support at the other end?

If the "wall" is hollow blocks you need to try to avoid the "hollow" parts.
