I want to attach a 3in x 3in fence post to the end of a brick wall.
The problem is that the wall is only 9in (22cm) from the house wall.
I asked a related question (without mentioning the short space) here
and "resin fixing" was suggested.
I'm not sure if this is intended to attach a post or similar object
directly to the brick, or if it is intended to be used
in conjunction with bolts of some kind?
Yup, used with threaded rod usually. You drill a hole, pump with goo,
and stuff the studding into the hole. Once its gone off, you then have
rock solid studs sticking out the wall ready for posts, washers, nuts etc.

Just to add ........... you buy the threaded bar in lengths and cut to
size required ...... put the nut on first before you cut the bar, to
allow the nut to cut the thread where you have sawn ... otherwise it
can be difficult to get the nut on.

Or thread then nut on the un-cut end! (in many cases you can fix it all
up and chop the excess studding off after the job is done).


I have obviously missed something ... if you have a 1 metre bar and
cut it in three .... no cut end ????
