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?

If you're thinking of the U shaped brackets that the panels just slide
down into, you should be able to drill, plug and screw into the posts.
The screws don't need to be very long, as there's very little "pull"
force on them, so you probably don't need to go deep enough to hit the
steel rebar inside the posts.

You could try drilling a few test holes (near the top of the post so
as not to weaken it) to find out where the rebar is, then position the
bracket fixing holes to miss the rebar.
Thanks in advance.
