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?

Bad luck. Our slotted concrete posts (and some others I've seen) have
holes through them to allow them to be used for panels with wire above,
and the holes do nicely for setting threaded rod on which one can fix
wooden posts.

If you've never had to try doing this why is it "bad luck" for the op?

If his posts came with holes there would be no need to drill them with
the concomitant risks. And MILE threaded rod also makes it easier to
remove the posts/panels for repair or replacement.


MILE threaded rod?
