I've got two pieces of timber which I need firmly bonded together (with nails but also with strong wood glue). Both timber pieces are 4 inch thick x 10 inch wide x 10 foot long.
I'm not a DIY-er. Any ideas of best glue to use to permanently bond them together strongly. When bonded, the wood will also be frequently left outside and exposed to elements so glue which is pretty resistance to rain would be good.
Thanks.

Thanks all... really useful info.
Julie - the Gorilla Glue looks really good... but whilst it is available in the UK... there are no local stockists near me and can't find UK online stockists either - however thanks.
koxinga - Cascamite looks really very good too but I'm not confident to mix stuff myself in case I get the quantities of paste to water messed up.
michael - thanks so much for clue-ing me up that I should use clamps. It never occured to me... thank you. And I have gone your route and currently added (pva) evo-stik wood (exterior version) (waterproof) to my shopping basket. Thanks.
gremlins - same thanks - i am going for that brand but the one in the blue container as its weatherproof.. although again thx for clamp info and weighting.
PETER H - I checked in to LUMBERJACK glue... however whilst it does gain alot of approval... some who use it on boating/ships feel its best for general joinery work.
Thx also to timothy, g.m, jason c, brenguns for pva answers.

Heavy duty pva glue is probably the best way, first apply glue to both surfaces that are to be glued together. Wait for the glue to go tacky and then clamp the two pieces together with "G" clamps. You can also use additional screw along the length of the timber to offer a more permanent fix.

The very best Glue for bonding two pieces of timber is a glue that goes by the trade name LUMBERJACK , I have used this glue for years in my trade ,Once bonded it really does hold.

any of the above mentioned glues are great, but one thing to consider when gluing two pieces together, best use wood clamps, and tighten them down real well when allowing the glue to dry. This will ensure a tight bond. Allow to dry for least 24 hours.

try a product called mitremate from b&q it comes in two containers ,you put the glue on one side of the timber then put the spray on the other side then just join the two bits of timber together ...warning ... this stuff is brutal and if your not carefull you will glue your hands to the timber as this stuff goes off in seconds, costs about 10 pounds

I agree with Jason C. A strong PVA glue held together with G clamps. Thats what i use it's worked every time for me. I tried no nails once & ended up having to use loads of nails.

What you need is the glue they use on boats. Anything else will not be weatherproof. Ask for Cascamite, timber-to-timber glue.
P.S> Here's a website to show you how to use it.: http://www.technologystudent.com/joints/casca1.htm

TiteBond II. you should be able to get it in a gallon jug. it is a weather proof, yellow carpenter's glue. i'd say liquid hide glue but you'll need quite a bit and for the cost TiteBond II will do the job.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/Kdbkf
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.
