Default Attaching a fence/screen to the top of a wall with stone "battlements" on it!

I think I'll probably end up going for trellis attached to posts fixed to the face of the wall, with some artificial climbing plants.


This will be lighter, will attach to the stronger part of the wall and will let the wind pass through


Yup. Mate had new fences put up a couple of years ago (about 2 metre
high). Expensive job with brick sleeper walls and brick pillars between
the wood panels. Looked very good indeed.

One side got blown down in the wind a few months ago, so they re-built
using steel reinforcement to the brick pillars. Other side got blown down
recently.
