  • Hi knowledgeable people,
    What's the most practical way to attach a wooden end fence post to brick?
    The new front fence has two end posts, one to attach to the house, the other to the front wall. Was thinking some sort of rawl plug plus screw combo. Obvs needs to hold tight but shouldn't think it would have massive loads going through it.
    Brick seems solid enough.
    End posts are 100mm and like this. Ta
    Bonus if I can collect from Screwfix or Toolstation.

  • Frame fixings or Thunderbolt/Tapcon-style masonry screws/bolts. Both have the advantage that you can just drill clean through the post into the wall (changing from wood to masonry bit of course), which makes alignment easy. If you're near the edge of the brick or it's old fragile brick, then go with the masonry screws. You'll need to countersink the holes in the wood or, if you're using a hex-head bolt, counterbore them and find a socket to wind them in.
