Default Lattice fence above brick wall

I want to install a wooden lattice fence
on top of a brick wall.
The wall is about 75cm high and 3.5m long.
What is the best way to do this without damaging the brick wall?


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.


It's a strong double brick wall with piers.
I think I'd like the lattice to be about 1m high (above the wall).
I think I'll attach 4in posts to my side of the wall to hold the lattice.
