Default Securing Gate to concrete fence post.

Hi,

In a couple of weeks im erecting a fence and will be needing to mount
a gate from my end post - a concrete one. I was thinking of fixing a
plinth of wood to the edge of the post but what method is best for
doing this as im aware the posts have steel rods inside for strength.


Most concrete posts also have holes through them for straining wires or
bolts to go through. Can you use any of them? If not, drilling through them
is possible but not easy, and can make a right mess of the post. Don't ask
me how I know :-((
