Novice DIYer, so please be kind...
I have a short 3 panel fence which needs replacing. It's fixed at either end to full height brick, with two wooden posts fixed to the neighbouring (low brick) wall in the middle. Only one of the middle posts needs replacing and I planned to pull it off the fixings (it's bolted to the wall with two bolts), and replace with a new post by just slotting it on to the old fixings and tightening the bolts again...
However, when I removed the post, only the top bolt is still sound; Can I still slot the new post onto the good screw and bolt and use some other sort of fixing to keep it sturdy at the bottom? Or can I use a wall bracket of some sort? Was planning to replace with 6ft panels.... any suggestions very welcome, attached pic might make more sense! Thanks in advance for your help!
