What is the best adhesive to glue wood to metal and the item will be exposed fully to weather in Denver?
Thanks,

I'm no expert (in anything) but I'd try gorilla glue.

Polyurathane is the answer (Gorilla glue for example). Epoxy will degrade with sunlight and heat. Poly is totally waterproof and uv proof. Though screws are indeed a good answer.

I think they use West System Epoxy for making boats. That's one epoxy that should hold up to abuse...

Alain, yes west systems is indeed used in boat building (I've done two myself with WS) but it has to be covered with UV varnish or it will degrade in no time flat.
