So i made a pretty sick rail and seshed it for one day. after the day i go back out to check it out and see that the water i used for the inrun and the other shit had go into the screw holes and there fore you could just pull the whole screw out.

Im not really sure what i should do.

Any Sugestions?

Here are some pics.

first i would treat the wood with a stain or something so it doesnt worp on you later then jsut screw in some new ones in a diff spot and you will be good to go. i treated mine and has been fine for 2 years of weathering.

yea, except use liquid nails (like caulk but from my understanding better with wood/pvc) if you put liquid nails down the length of the rail then screw it down it'll be quite solid. also some diagonal supports might not be a bad idea there.

I had this problem exactley. The best sollution is getting a nut and bolt and drilling all the way down through the wood. Putting the bolt in and tighten up the nut and whala. Never have to tuch it again .
