Hello ladies and gents,

I've been draughted by my sister to install a fence across the bottom of their garden but there's two elements that I'm unsure on.

I'll be installing a post in direct(ish) contact with the neighbours fence which runs further away from the property than on our side.

This run with go 6mtr then I need to change direction by about 30 degrees to run another 2.1Mtr and meet the outside of a 90degree corner post (again concrete). How do I make a 30 degree corner if it's possible with one post (or butting two together at an angle but that sounds a bit ugly) and how do I terminate against an existing post considering there'll most likely be a lump of concrete under the ground stopping me installing another against it?

*If the 30degree corner is an issue I can run straight and make it a 90 to run back to the existing post mentioned but I'll have to get creative around a big tree...

Sorry for my horrible explanation and thanks for any advice :)

I think you will get the 30deg with a single post, the 2.1 will be a pain if a gap to fill.
 
Thanks Ian,

You don't happen to know if you can drill and plug concrete posts? thinking I can make a receiving timber so the existing corner I mentioned holds our panel (with consent of the owner of course).

Concerned it might allow more water ingress and rust of the reinforcement bars..

posts are not very substantial. Drilling one may increase the risk of starting a crack. Some are made with pre-cast holes formed in the factory with plugs, for bolts or wires.
