We have a gareden fence at the bottom of our garden consisting of about 6 in no. 6x 6 panels with concrete pillars. Over the years the panels have come loose in the pillars. Have used wedges but these seem to work themselves out and with the present unclement weather I want to try and make them more wind proof. What Iwant to do is, IF there is a suitable adhesive that would stick WOOD to CONCRETE will ty this. Is there any adhesive that anyone can suggest, did wonder if No Nails would be suitable. Thanks for any help.

Am no expert!.....but once used no nails to stick samll wooden legs to a rabbit hutch......was useless!.........so wouldn't go down that route!.....maybe dig down further and use more concrete!.......
sorry, that' 'small' wooden legs............lol.............

Why would the spacers need to be attached to the concrete posts, just attaching (nailing?) them to the wooden frame of the fence panel would do the job, surely?

BJS, I had this problem. Solved it by using 'expanding foam', used by builders in many capacities nowadays.
Once dried you can trim off, and paint/stain to match either the panel, or the post.
Hope this helps.
I would suggest expanding foam too.
You could screw the wedges to the ends of the panel. The expanding foam idea sounds interesting.

Thanks for all the posts been most helpful. If I went for the expanding foam option can this be obtained from a DIY store in a gun form and how do you make sure it goes completly from top to bottom of the 6ft panel heught.
