Trouble is, I cannot drill into these posts to screw in the
cross
battens. Invariably I get in half inch or so, hit a stone, then
the drill rapdily goes blunt, and goes no further.
SDS drill with diamond bit?

SDS with a normal masonry bit. Done it loads of times.


These posts normally have reinforcing bars in them just to make life
more difficult

True, but drilling a 30mm deep hole for a plastic plug shouldn't reach the
