I am looking to run a supporting catenary cable between two brick walls to support a covering tarp however I cannot drill or bolt a fixing into either wall. Can anyone suggest an adhesive or epoxy that can bond a galvanised plate to brick?

Property owner doesnt want holes drilled, their prerogative.
I don't suppose they'd be very happy about a dollop of glue on the wall, even if it were feasible.
Can you imagine the forces this tarp would be subjected to in the wind? Mechanical fixings is the only possibility that I can envisage.
Otherwise some form of stand alone support.

There are many modern polymer adhesives and various specialist masonry epoxies, which will stick things to walls.
That property owner is not living in the real world, and neither is anyone advising them if they think that they can use an adhesive for this application.

Perhaps it's a rental.
Thanks to the two that PM'd me with solutions, much appreciated.
