Fixing timber to a gal post
I need to attach a piece of timber 45mm thick and 1000mm long to a 90mm diameter galvanised steel post.
It will eventually hold a gate which will be very heavy - so the two requirements are that it be extremely strong and that the fixing be relatively unobtrusive as it’s in a high traffic spot (so just aesthetically pleasant).
Naturally I want to minimise the number and size of any holes in the pipe.
What is the best fixing for this? Previously I used Dynabolts but i just want to check that there isn’t something better designed for the purpose.
Cheers

You can use gal batten screws. Just pre drill a 5.5mm hole in the post first.
