Measure ths diameter of the hole and the depth, then pay a visit to a decent hardware shop(NOT ONE OF THE "SHEDS") and ask for a length of silver steel.And a good hacksaw.

IMO silver steel is a bit OTT.
Bright mild steel would be plenty good enough for the job, cheaper and more readily available.

I agree about finding a decent hardware shop - and a decent hacksaw.

You can get dowels to fit, it's what most timber bunk beds use to align legs.

A bit of "all thread" would work too..
