Thanks for the replies. Will have a look in Wickes, if not there then
some of the Screwfix brackets might work. The load it needs to take
is, I would guess, potentially quite high. It's to support one end of
a 6' x 4' bit of trellis sitting on top of a brick wall. Once it's
covered in jasmine and a bit of a wind gets up I would guess the
forces involves are pretty big

Could you not fabricate a wooden post in sections to go around the
oversailing course? Or cut a rebate in a solid post? Much stronger than a
bracket.

bottom of the 'L' is though.
