Typically (for me) I'm trying to find something that doesn't exist, so I'm wondering about jerry-rigging what I need. I'm looking to cross a 2x3 over a deck rail, but they won't be perpendicular. Think of the 1st picture, but with the ability to sort of pivot where they meet.
So I'm thing of connecting two basic U ties (2nd pic). Questions are whether it would work and if so, how best to join them. I don't care about looks. Fugly is fine. I also don't want this to be a permanent installation, but it should be able to withstand some minor strain. Thanks for any ideas.
BTW, plenty of time to think about this, as I won't need it for a couple of months.
