Default attaching wooden fence posts to a nice stone topped wall

I must admit I'd be very wary of adding a fence to the top of a wall.
Structurally they are working in very different ways and I wouldn't have
thought that it would take much wind load to risk damaging the wall. This
might account for the lack of replies to your question.


This happened near me. The 3ft brick wall came down in one piece off its
raised plinth and fell onto the pavement. Luckily there was no-one
underneath.

can I guess the posts were attached to the wall tops with bolt down
met post things?


how high was the fence and what construction? panels, hit & miss ??


Fence and wall both about 3ft (the original wall was just low enough to
see over, and see the bowling club). I don't recall how it was fixed on,
and can't find a reference to any news story. They've put a 6ft wall up
now and it has been fine.
