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".

Far easier to fit the hinges to the timber attached to the concrete post -
they will cope with the angle no prob. If you can't do that the post has to
be angled. Arris rail might do the job but thats 45 degree.

Easy enough to angle the post with a table saw, not something I'd want to
try with a circular saw.

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)?

I usually use multi montis, but plugs & screws will work. You will need an
SDS drill. There are normally two strips of rebar, so drill as centrally as
possible to avoid them.
