Default External Structural Wood Glue

Now the question, I need a very strong wood glue for external structural
joinery (6x6 and 12x4 timbers) ... all timbers are tanalized, so must be
able to work on treated wood

In the past I have opted for Cascamite .. it is reasonably gap filling,
strong & waterproof. (and expensive)
But as I have been using Cascamite for more than 25 years has the
technology
moved on ... is there something better ?

I've used Gorilla Glue successfully on (much smaller) joinery on a fence
made from tanalised wood


I used Screwfix polyurethane wood glue (of the foaming variety) to stuck
together pairs of 4x2 tanalised timbers to create 4x4 posts for a
pergola. This has been up and in good condition for the last 12 years so
I think it's an acceptable technique.
