Putting wood in them? - they must be huge. Post a photo if you can, but I think you need some epoxy. i thought about wood, but will probably go with the epoxy. holes aren't big...they're the standard screws used to hold a stanchion post to the deck. no sign of damage to the deck itself so i assume the stanchion lifted straight up and pulled out the screws Do you think you have rotting wood around the holes? Epoxy will only help if the substrate around it is sound. no, i think the substrate is sound. it's just the force of the collision with the piling lifted the railing away from the deck. the piling got under the rail when the boat got pushed into it by the wind. so the deck is sound In that case, a good epoxy will be fine. |
