Default Fence panel brackets

I have a fence made up of slotted concrete posts, with wooden fence
panels fitted into them.

The last panel has an end post, which is slotted on one side but plain
on the other.

However I wish to extend the fence.

Ideally, I would like to replace the post with an intermediate one
(slots on both sides). But this isn't really possible (long story).

I was therefore wondering if it was feasable to fix the panels to this
post using galvanised fence brackets screwed into them? I know these are
really made for wooden posts, but is there any reason they wouldn't work
here?





I don't see why not. The previous owner of our house had several things
screwed (with raw type plugs) into concrete fence posts. The posts
eventually broke but no where near the screws etc. Some posts (perhaps
all?) have steel rods in the middle but, provided you miss those, just
drill with a suitable drill, stick in a rawplug (or similar), and off
you go.
