How to attach cattle feed barrier onto atcost conctrete posts?

[hubbahubba]

Is there any good ideas to attach a cattle / sheep barrier to atcost concrete posts? There 10" x 8" square posts full of rebar which im unsure if drilling is possible. I have no idea how they are erected but the bottom of each post have H beams sticking up at either side and tied together with metal strips, the concrete posts are inside these stumps.

I was planning to wrap them with metal from the top of the H beams sticking up 4' so they get to the top of the 5' barrier. Although i cant get 4 bits of angle iron or 2 bits of U channel to do this. Plus it would be verry epensive.

I basically have decided i want a 5' high U channel on the inside of each concrete beem that 2x 3"x10" wooden boards slide into and my 3' high diagonal feed barrier on top of that. The boards and barrier would be 14' long. Then it slides up and down for cattle and sheep (sheep put there head between the two boards). If i ever put yearling cattle in the shed i could take the top board out altogether. I can weld these U channels to the H beem stumps at the bottom but cant decide how to attach at the top. Any ideas greatly appreciated?

We took one done once that had like a metal band around it where the hinge was. So a flat plate with the hinge welded to it. Then 2 bits of plate welded at 90 degreesto go up either side of the post and then these were bent the other end to a ninty with a hole in them. Then a flat plate bolted across them on the back side of the post. Does that make sense?

Yeh makes sence. I would worry bu just welding 4 plates round the pole it would be that tight. Obviously the 2 bolts on your way would clamp it tight but then there sticking out.

Put steel plate up the sides and bolt it on through the posts? Then can build off that.
Our much missed shed builder did the same for grain walling . I could take a photo later

A lot of these type fittings are use over here, threaded bar through the holes at the back of the post to keep the hanger in place. Get someone to make one the correct size to fit round your concrete post.

Thats the bottom of the post. Whats the H beams there for anyway?

That's just an add on.
Just bolt some angle on through the existing holes - you can drill some more using the same spacings if you want.

This sort of arrangement- two bars and two lengths of threaded rod?
