fence to concrete wall connection
trying to find a sturdy way to attach 6×6 posts to a 10′ tall precast concrete wall. I am not liking the simpson post base, seems that any force against the fence will just hinge it over. I was thinking of setting rebar and drilling a hole into the post. Wondering if there are any other systems folks have used.
Thanks

I would drill into the wall with an appropriate tool, and anchor the post to the wall with some sort of bracket. The best would be stainless steel due to the corrosive nature of both materials.
You confuse me -- are you talking about a concrete wall or a concrete slab? In most cases you can dig down at least 6-12 inches along side a wall to set the base of a post, and then with some sort of anchor bolt near the top the post should be rock-solid.
Otherwise I'd just use anchor bolts top and bottom. There are a half-dozen different styles to choose from.
