I’ll get the vertical pole in place . Then make a cardboard scale model of what I thick the bracket should be . -

Couldn’t I just use my method and each short horizontal is above the other ? I.e 2 clamps on the vertical. Trying to sort an off the shelf solution ... -

@joe90 What about clamping with a U bracket a short scaff pole on the outside of the wall ( on both sides ) and then just a horizontal short piece clamped to the main vertical with scaff fixings? Crap picture - for no clarity -

Looking at cargo slings on eBay now. Not ordered yet as best to build something; so I have some idea. So ( for now! ) will use a wooden pallet as platform. 2 slings I assume ; 1 each side; going under pallet ( some timber or something to stop them slipping ) Up into spreader ( still not sure what to use here - perhaps simple timber is ok? ) then to hook. -

Ummm, I guess so ( he says ). Essentially it is better because as you say bolt can pull out the wall with a U clamp. With this method it's directly in the wall vertically. All I need then in reality is maybe a nice meaty right angle bracket that I can cut/drill to suit. -

The only issue I've got is the length to weight ratio that the counter weight scaff pole needs to be . i..e I've got limited room for it ( drain in the way ) so will need to be shorter - but obviously can stick more weight on it to compensate . Struggling to find parapet clamps at a sensible price.... -

RIGHT! That's it. Only way to move this forward is to actually purchase something! So winch and scaff pole gantry from eBay ordered . Going with @joe90 suggestion. So if I suffer injury he's liable -
So I can simply over paint it with the appropriate paint? . Do I need to prep the surface?
-
Ouch ! . Mines only 1 year old ! . Just repaint then with the appropriate silicon breathable paint ??

Should it lose its colour so quick though ? Always thought k rend should last for years - not 1 year . That wall is on a sheltered side aswell .... ?
-
My exterior was K rendered about a year ago . I’ve noticed a few scuffs and assumed it’s where I’ve hit the wall . I no longer think this . Not sure it shows up in the photos . Obviously I could re paint at a later date just surprised how soon it seems to be losing its colour

Ultimately I’m guessing some coping stones on top - but I’ll worry about that later . Please give me an example of a ‘saddle’ . Still need counter weight etc ?? -

Floor to top of wall 2.6m wall depth 24cm height of load let’s say 2m Wall is concrete ‘lego’ blocks . Reinforcing rods added ; top was shuttered to make a solid concrete ‘cap ‘ then pumped in concrete all in 1 go . The wall’s not going anywhere ! -

Tbh that’s not such a bad suggestion ! Or a corpse .... -
Could do . But I’ll do it properly so everyone thinks I’m skilled !!
-
Fair enough . My plates quite wide ( see photo ) . Though if you think it’s pants - I’ll recut the holes - probably make a template first . I only did it as a ‘crude’ rectangle because the destructions said so .

Yep . Just read it throughly - takes standard Scaf poles to provide horizontal arms - then bags of sand I recon to counter weight it ( unless anyone can think of a cheaper alternative) Also , if I need to resell when done will be easier - though something like this I think I would keep .... for parties -
Ah ! Was going to use ct1 - will make a mental note not to . 6 months later I’ll forget and stick it on with ct1 . 2 years later when I need to remove the plate you can link to this thread .
