Fixing a post to a concrete path?
Discussion
I'd be tempted to find the depth of the concrete first.
Next door to in-laws put some between the two properties,I think the two drives were laid at different times and the someone filled in the gap later,not enough depth and the wind blew over the fence and ripped holes in the dividing strip.

yeah - its the bit that says 'for use on existing sound concrete bases' that i'm not so sure about.....I've just used a couple to mount some fencing in my back garden.
One thing is, the bolts have to go TIGHT. I had a couple of issues where they'd suddenly lose bite right at the end and I really struggled to get them tight enough to hold the met clamp properly, leaving some movement in the post. In the end, we buried the ends in concrete and had paving and gravel boards to hold them down.
I'm still not convinced by them TBH and half expect the fencing to be laying on the floor..
Checking the depth of the concrete is definitely key.
