One more picture below.

Behold, rebar clamps to give my veggies a nice climbing structure.

They’re 3 total parts and are held together heat sets and bolts.

    I would personally cram in something related to COAX-SEAL into the screw holes. Having setup a few cables outside for antennas (ham radio) I have learned to never trust metal to metal connections when exposed to weather.

    Coax-seal might be a bit hard to work with, so maybe some silicone caulk would work?

      Due to the two piece construction here you would have to wrap this whole thing in sealant to keep water out because (to para-quote Dr. Ian Malcolm) “water uhh finds a way”.

      Dab of anti-sieze or stainless hardware would be my go to if I wanted to pull this apart after a couple years.
