I want fit a wooden garden side gate (1.9m x 0.9m). The hinge side
will be fixed to a wooden plate which will be screwed to the brick
wall of the house. The post on the latch side of the gate needs to be
fixed to a concrete fence post - the type where the fence panels slot
into either side. However the fence, and therefore the face of the
concrete post is at about a 30 degree angle to wall, so either the
post will need to be planned/sawn with one face at an angle, or a
square post plus some angled "spacers".

What's the best way to fix the gate post to the concrete post - can
these posts be drilled to take wall plugs (or frame fixings)?

Any advice appreciated.

(and no, I don't want to dig up the driveway to put the fence post
into the ground!).

Thanks, David.


Am I reading that wrong? You want to cut the concrete post down on
one edge, so the angle is at 90 degrees with the wall?


I think you're reading it wrong Big Wallop - he will have great difficulty
in "planing or sawing" the concrete post! Try thinking of him fitting
timber posts to the concrete - at least that's the way I read it.

Can't you cut a piece of timber to a wedge that fixes to the concrete
post? I think that would be much easier than trying to cut the
concrete.

I think that is what he has actually said - to fit a timber post!

I have missed something, haven't I? :-)

Yes, he said - "The *post* on the latch side of the gate needs to be *fixed*
*to* *a* *concrete* *fence* *post* - ROTFL
