Hi Gizmo

Many thanks for your reply I will have a look thanks again hope it will work

 

Well IMHO using a glue onto the decking is more than likely to fail, even if the glue holds, what will probably happen with such a tall top heavy structure is that the post and glue will rip out a chuck of the decking as its quiet soft wood.

While you can go on trying to find ways of securing it, think you will be much better getting the right tool for the job, a bird feeder designed to be attached to fencing ,walls or sheds, which is just a matter of simply screwing them up, job done for years.

many types around -

 

As the others say glue is not the answer. Gorilla glue is excellent for STATIC use.
Not many glues cope with flexing in the wind etc.
If you really do want the support post on the decking I'd be inclined to reinforce the area with a block of treated timber such as 30mm outdoor ply (under the decking would be professional) and then screw it down as Pete suggests.

 

Many thanks for your reply I think putting wood under decking would cause a problem due decking won't be even unless you do it all over.
I was thinking of a post skirt. Or fixing down the tennis post base with wood and screw down. Or putting tennis post base under decking
But thanks for the ideas

 

It depends how far you'd be prepared to go to fit the post securely. Granted my method would involve lifting part of the decking, then possibly excavating the under slabs depending on what clearance you have to allow a block of 30mm ply to fit underneath.
But already I'm thinking if you was that determined, you could set the base in concrete under the decking and then it would emerge very neatly through the decking with a square cut out to the exact post size.
(trust me to look at a complex method) but believe me by the time I'd finished my bird feed stand would be well and truly fixed lol.

 

Many thanks for your reply that sounds interesting. I have got garden post cement that is supposed to dry in less than 10 minutes. But to do that I would have to take up decking cut hole lay cement
Thanks for the idea

 

Well this seems to have snowballed while I wasn't looking.

Anyone suggested Gizmo would be better moving house yet.

Its starting to sound like a scrip from "Some Mothers DO Have Em".

 

Hi well moving house is not a option aa my wife had a stroke last time we moved
