I have just spent two hours Googling for something but I'm not getting anywhere as I don't really know what we need.
Yesterday we tried to fit a Weather Vane on to a concrete line post at the top of the garden.
As soon as we started to drill the post a big chunk fell out of it:(
We realise now that the only way to fit the weather vane is to attach a 6' wooden post to the concrete post so it stands about a foot taller than the concrete post and attach the weather vane to that.
The concrete post is tapered at the top being approx 3''x3'' at the top and 4''x4'' further down, and the wooden post is 3''x3''.
We,ve tried the local DIY to no avail for inspiration.
Googled Aerial chimney fixing/huge square Ubolts etc.
What we have in mind is using three wire things that can be tightened similar to small ratchet straps which we have as extra storm scaravanon the cravan awning ( but not bright orange ones!)
We are hopeless at DIY and the situation is getting fraught here to say the least, with me muttering things like 'why does a simple job always turn into a major expensive refit?'
Any suggestions welcome please!
