Fitting batons to concrete fenceposts

[rsgaz]

I wish to avoid any drilling

These things clamp onto I beam concrete posts...

Then you can nut and bolt anything you want to it. Or even use self drilling countersunk screws straight through the timber into the metal.

But, as warned, you are supposed to have permission first and even worse, if they tell you that they wish to paint/preserve their fence on your side, you'll have to remove anything you've added to allow them to do that.

Gaz. That's the whole point. I'm fitting battens to the posts so that the neighbours can - if needed - lift out the panels without disturbing anything on my side. Those post fix things look ok (albeit expensive) but, not sure how you would screw a batten to them??

Your normal power drill won't even dent the post, so don't waste time with it, and you'll just alert the neighbours to what you're trying to do. I suspect you're heading for trouble here, as it's the neighbours post, and you don't get on with them; you're just giving them ammunition to thump you with. Post a picture, and we'll see if the are any other options, but it may be that you've got to go and ask nicely. Do you own, or rent - it may make a difference to the solution.

Now that's just rubbish isnt it? My cordless Hitachi - used with a Bosch 7mm blue masonry bit, went through the posts very nicely. Battens now screwed on. And for the umpteenth time. If I wanted legal advice I'd go to a legal forum. Dear me.

You could have just used something like exterior no more nails to glue the batons on to the fence posts.

I can see why you and your neighbour don't get on.

I can see that YOU probably are my neighbour.

I don't think so. No-one has drilled holes in my fence posts and screwed batons on.
