The best way to explain this is with a picture.
We have an existing fence between the neighbors. We can't take it out and get access from their side, as they have lots of stuff in the way, and it'd mean dismantling a lot of their garden. No go.
We had some builders in a while ago, and they built a wall in front of the fence, and eventually, off the top of the wall we would build a slatted fence. To cut a long story short, they messed up the plum line of the wall, as well as finishing it correctly which means we can't build the fence off the top of the wall as intended.
With this in mind, we're going to put some 25mm thick posts behind the wall and between the fence as can be seen below, and then build the fence off this, securing it properly with some 100x100 fence posts at either end.
The issue I'm having, is getting a good secure fixing of the timber to the wall. Does anyone know of best to do this, when access behind the wall is rather limited? Ideally, i'd like some sort of large, threaded plate. This way, i can drill my holes, screw the threaded plate into the back on the timber, drop it into place and then tighten it up with a threaded bar, hex bolt or similar.
The only issue is, I can't find anything like this on the market? Best thing I can find are some M12 nuts and 40mm square washers.
Any ideas?
