Screws, etc to attach wire fencing to a concrete post?

[Rollerball]

I need to attach some stock wire fencing (like this: https://www.belvoirsawmill.co.uk/products/agricultural/fencing-wire/stock-fencing/ ) to a concrete post. I've thought of using screws with large washers but is there a better way to do this, maybe some kind of screws, fittings, etc that are more suited to the task of fixing wire fencing to a concrete post?

Do the posts have holes in them?

No holes, but I can easily drill some for screws, etc.

Normally you run wire through the fencing, then through the post, with bolts like vine eyes adding tension

You may find drilling the post a bit of a pain courtesy of the reinforcing inside, but if you do manage it consider fixing a timber lath to the post, and then the mesh to the timber.

That makes sense. This is a post against an old building.

Good idea, thanks. I'm also wondering if the fencing wire could be attached with some of those metal strips that are a bit like cable ties but which have a screw which is tightened. I've forgotten what they're called, any ideas?

Speaking of cable ties, I guess I could even use some extra thick and long ones to do the job?

Jubilee or worm drive clips are possibly what you mean, and for sure they will work well enough.
Cable ties are a possibility too, but you’ll need heavy duty ones!
Perhaps a mixture of them all!

P clips ....normally used for fire cable ...

Thanks both of you!

You could even just tie a bit of galvanised wire round the post.
Is this at the end of the netting? If so run it round the post (if there's space) and tie it back on itself

What is the fence going to keep in/out?

Thanks. It's just to make sure that my dog doesn't get out.
