I'd use frame fixings (basically a rawplug with a strong screw partially inserted: drill the right sized hole, through the lot, then hammer it all into place. The 'screw' gets fully inserted into the plug in the hammering, the screw head being there for when you want to take it out again).

Have a few packets of these that I got from homebase. There are a few different max widths more than the 5mm shown.

Yes, they are the bollocks. My garden fence is attached with those (the big hex-head bolt type) and it's held up for a couple of years with no issues. They have the advantage of not exerting outward force on the bricks/blocks. Perhaps it's not so easy to just drill straight through the wood and into the block/brick as you would for a frame fixing, but I prefer them.

are masonry screws any cop? seems a bit easier than dicking about with rawl plugs. it's to fix a long wooden batten to a blockwork wall.
