Other sites said to drill a hole in wood and put a big bolt in it to hold the cracked wood together but that would only damage it more. It clips around the outside and holds it together well. I don't mind a blue clip on my tree. It's cheap enough to last outside for years and looks like it's going to be pretty weatherproof, we'll see. I would prefer aluminum but that would be fine.
