Default mounting tile vertically outside

Steve B wrote:
I have three Sonotubed rounds that are about 24" high, 30" diameter. They
are exterior, and get snow and rain and direct sun. I would
like to cover this now bare concrete. Ideally, I'd like to tile them
using small tile, say 2" square, or smaller, or scraps, or odd
rectangulars, and use some Mexican and unique 4x4 and 6x6 tiles we
have.
What type of mortar/grout/adhesive should I use so that they do not
pop off with freeze thaw cycles?


The usual - thinset.

It freezes very seldom where I live but I see no reason why frequent
freezing/thawing should affect adherance of the tiles. Bricks are fastened
to lots of things, ever see a pile of bricks at the bottom of a wall after a
freeze?
