    So. I want to put a large trellis here. Think trellis are 6 foot high or so. Height here is 7 ft high.

    Where the pipe is on photo is just to illustrate where I want to fit timber post in order to Attach trellis to keep it stable .
    The small piece of timber is the size of the timber post I will probably use .
    I can fix trellis to timber running along side gutter
    I need to fix it to this new post I propose to put there.

    Anyone any ideas about a fixing bracket perhaps that I could use to fit the post ? Or any ideas welcome !
    Rather avoid drilling into slabs , although trellis is light .. not sure if outdoor “ no more nails “ would suffice ..(maybe it would !?) thanks

    Just an idea but maybe you could make a feature out of the footings for the post? Something like the photo attached, could put post into a small bit of concrete and into a planted pot? But then again something sticky might just do the trick as well. I just like to make work for myself :)

    You could just put the timber onto the slab and use two concrete screws at an angle to go through the concrete tile...

    Concrete screws are brilliant, just need a hammer drill...

    I'd be worried about the risk of splitting the slab.
