Best Waterproof glue?

I am in the process of making large gates for my house and I would appreciate any info on waterproof glues.I normally use standard PVA inside but want something special outside. The waterresistant pva might do the trick but any advice would be great.
Thanks all.

    We use this is around £3 and we recently used it to hots bolts that came out of a wall for a garden gate post which holds a 7ft wooden garden gate

    Most DIY places sell it, I get mine from a local diy store

    Have a look at any of the urethane adhesives, such as gorilla glue. These are totally waterproof and give a very strong joint.

    Cascamite gets my vote, the off white powder type you mix with water, as used by boat builders, it may have been rebranded recently try looking for :- Cascamite, Extramite Polymite, ResinMite
