It seems that the comments on this particular question seem to have focused on the wobbly post & whether or not that base will work for you. Focus the question on that, say how your question is different from the dupe question, and see if you can get some suggestions on yours for fixing the wobbly post. Including a pic of the actual fasteners through the wood might help. Beyond that, I've got nothing for you... | |

Is the solution to edit it out of my question, and go try to reactivate it in the older question? Note that the older question never responded to requests for clarification about exactly what product was being used. I'm capable of doing that in my case, but of course not in theirs. | |

| Jun 23, 2023 at 13:27 | comment | added | FreeMan | TBH, the only reference I see is "Note that this aspect (and only this aspect) of my question appears to be related..." and I'm not sure what "this aspect" is that you're referring to. Also, you specifically said "However, I'd like the bit about the post being wobbly addressed", and I think the other question does address that - "No, don't do this". I do see at least 2 questions in your question, though: 1) post in bracket wobbles, 2) Can I secure fence posts to the top of my retaining wall? | |
| Jun 23, 2023 at 13:16 | comment | added | T.E.D. | Already done. I thought it was well explained when I first brought up the website, but I've clarified since closure. Is there something you feel the current edit lacks? | |
