what type of fene and how tall. met posts really are a last resort as they do not give a good solid result imho based upon experaince of taking plaenty of them that have failed down

i want to put a fence on top of the wall

It will break off.

Think of the leverage.

4ft tall and a good sturdy fence not the lap fence, there is a two foot breeze block wall already at the bottom of my garden, which will then make it 6ft tall , i will have to put a post half way along just wondered if i could bolt a post holder on to the top of the wall and what fixings is best into breeze block, any other suggestions are very much appreciated.or better ideas.maybe thinking of using breeze blocks to make a fixing post cementing 5 or six high every 6 ft along my wall and fixing the fence to them , but not sure how stable the blocks would be?

better to run the posts up the face of the wall
