RE: Attaching HDPE



Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It appears that nylon bolts are the
best approach. Unfortunately, in checking my local Ace and Lowe's I found
only 2 inch long 1/4-20.
So, I will counter sink a hole at each end of the support so that the 2 inch
bolt will reach through the vertical support and through the 1/2 inch
primary platform.
Onward!
and Be Careful Out There.

Hi Ted,

	Hot melt glue and nylon screws.  Not much else even "tries" to stick
to
poly...

Cheers,
