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.

If your posts are anything like the ones I have, they are likely to have 2
holes already drilled through them.
One is about 8" from the top, the other a further 48" down.
Ignoring the angle for now, the timber can be bolted using these 2 holes and
M12 bolts.
Did just this 2 weeks ago and it's sound.
Had to cut the bolts down a bit to make sure the nut and bolt end didn't
stop the panel sliding down the inner groove.
Tightened the bolts up so the nut buried itself a bit in the concrete post.

Works for me
