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.

2nd story deck railing

11 years ago
Do you have any information on the bracket which connects the deck railing post to the deck framing? Or is it just bolted directly through the fascia boards? Thanks!

    The deck railing is bolted through the deck rim joists. 4x blocking was used to add rigidity to the framing. Each post uses (2) 3/4" galvanized bolt assemblies.

    This railing is extremely heavy and required that the framing be done to accommodate the railing attachment. It is always a good idea to engineer the deck details prior to construction to insure your design is structurally sound.
