My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hidden Post and Rail Fastener

19 years ago

In the latest "Homes" issue of Fine Homebuilding, there was a modern farmhouse with a great deck. The railing is 4x4 posts with a continuous 4x4 rail attached to the top of the posts.

Anyone have any idea on how to attach the rail to the post without fasteners visible from top and side? It looks very sleek, but I haven't the foggiest idea how to do it.
