Hanging standard gate on slotted concrete posts

[chrisbonduk]

Got some slotted panels todo the weekend with a gate. My plan is the following:

Put some 2x1 batten in the grove one side then a 4x4 post the other side. Luckily when the concrete posts where delivered they have 2x 16mm holes that look in the right place I need them.

Is 2x M10 Coach bolts and a M10 Penny Washers going to be enough to hold the gate post with a gate attached? And does the above sound feasibly enough. I will predrill the wood with smaller drill bit.

Was thinking toolstation 78511 and 90716 parts....

Thanks

That sounds ok to me.....you could go up to 12mm bolts though.......the beefier the better.
These posts are usually well reinforced so drilling more holes can be troublesome!
