If these pillars are to be used as retainers for a fence panel then forget it. They will be over in a slight wind.
I woyuld not trust anything less than an 18" pillar, or a 13" at a push depending on function.

No, refuse to do it. They will be over in a good wind.
In my opinion you need some meat, i.e 18" x 18" pillars.

ok m8 thank you for your help appreciated
if any 1 else can share there views would be nice
Fence posts set behind the existing wall would be a more realistic option.
