Default Garden wall.

The brickwork has been repaired and quickly. With reinforcing rods in the
pillars. Didn't see it being done - but they're doing it all under
warranty which is good news.

Got me thinking. Wouldn't it be a good idea to fix the wood panels in some
way which would shear off in a high wind before bringing down the pillars?
The wood panels were more or less undamaged, and fit for further use.

No idea how you'd work this out or what type of fixing, though.


Possibly the panels still attached to the pillars stop the panels flying
off and hitting someone. Your solution to protect the pillars may end
up with more serious consequences.
