hi Ian, I chose galvanised index screws,,so I can take down the boxes as and when the notorious squirrel problem attacks the boxes,and there positioned on an ancient lime walk,which has a three yr restoration project,,so probably going to get pollarded anyway,,,as you can see I added some 32mm and 35mm plates to try and beat the squirrels,,,
