wind load is the problem
Thanks as always

Are you running both panels in a straight line. How is the surface water drained off the paving. I see a gully to one side.

Bottom:
Would it be possible to fix a timber sole plate with suitable hilti anchor fixings at 0.5m c/c. Then fix the base of the panels to this sole plate.

Top:
At the top of both panels run a suitable treated timber joist 6 to 8 inches in depth, but the joist is placed on the horizontal to take the wind load back to the LHS post and the RHS wall. Use some type of steel L-angle to take the support of joist ends & anchor into post/wall. Alternative to a timber joist is to use an inverted steel 'C' channel that sits snuggly over the top runner of the panels.

Fine Cheers

Are the paving bricks on sand or bedded on mortar ?
Taking out a few bricks and removing whats underneath might give you a pad of 100mm deep or more with easy post or similar ?
I take it the entire paving area is yours ? What is the purpose of the new fence, will you need a gate in it ?
In roofing terms, a circa 175mm x 50mm would span that distance so not a bad idea to brace along the top along with some intermediate post supports perhaps ? Would you do it all timber ?

I would put diagonally braced feet on the freestanding ends and disguise/distract from them with plants in square containers.

I assume the idea here is to create a staggered wind break without a gate.

100 % re what the boss wants, about the width of a wheel barrow between them.
She wants pre made panels so I cannot rustle up some hit and miss to reduce the wind load.
Was in a gravel quarry yesterday and they had stone gabions so might explore that as a free standing solution
