I want to install a wooden lattice fence

The wall is about 75cm high and 3.5m long.
What is the best way to do this without damaging the brick wall?

Resin fixing will avoid expansion force

Or Multi Monties/Montys.

Sorry, what are these?

Multi Monti's are brilliant, plus you can put them quite close to the edge
of brick or stonework. You must use exactly the right size masonry drill
though; it's easy to drill too large and then you have no grip.

But if you are asking whether the fence could pull the wall down in a wind,
you need to say if it is single or double brick, whether there are piers,
how high the fence needs to be, how exposed is the site, and how "open" is
the lattice.

If you are trying to mount (say) 500 mm on top of a double brick wall you
might get away with bits of rebar set into vertical holes. If you are after
2 m high lattice on a single skin wall you'd better mount it off (say) 75 mm
square posts set into the ground (metposts?)
