[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1037454, member: 369937"] If the brick wall's mortar where the "T" and "K" brackets are located has lost it's grip on the bricks (old wall) you should spread the load out across the wall, that pole is acting as a lever, it will affect the bricks no matter where you mount the brackets. In cases like this I use what is called Uni-strut, it is a "U" shaped steel channel used by contractors to hold pipes and electrical conduit wiring, it is very strong and using the channel nuts that are meant to be used with it you can spread the load out along the wall. The bottom of the uni-strut has holes to allow bolts to be put through, the "T" and "K" brackets can be attached to the uni-strut with the channel nuts, then using 6 or more brick anchors to hold the uni-strut to the wall you would spread the load out and the bricks will not come loose. This is what I'm talking about....[URL='http://www.unistrut.co.uk/']Unistrut U.K.[/URL] Several pieces about 1.5 to 2 metres long mounted horizontal where the "T" and "K" brackets would be located should work out nicely.
