attaching wooden fence posts to a nice stone topped wall
have a say 1m fence to construct atop a nice old curved low stone
built garden wall, gtopped with some nice old large bits of flattish stone (think wall that had railings ontop before they were cut off for the war). The wall is also sloped so the fence will be hand built to suit - i.e. not panels Standard ways of attaching fence posts to masonry/concrete are pretty foul bolt down jobbies that look naff and don;t last long IMHO. Also drilling 4 holes is asking for bother on capping stones, and I expect they won't cope with the slope well and will look even more naff... So looking for a neat way of attaching wooden posts to sloping coping stones...?? Sure I;ve seen some post "shoes" with a length (12"?) of rebar attached vertically underneath presumably to concrete in - can't find em now- was thinkinig I could drill the stones (and better down into the wall) for the rebar and then use resin to anchor them in? Any thoughts? Cheers Jim K |
