Building Longer Lasting Decks - Breaking Ground Episode 3

How do you attach your post and railings thanks

[@raymonddegidio5788]

We use surface mount railings so we add blocking per the plan provided by fastenmaster. To block in between joists or at ends we simply rip a piece of pressure treated to 7 1/4 then insert it and screw it off.

do the guys still add butyl tape to the tops of the joists ?

[@raymonddegidio5788]

No, we are using the new fastenmaster coating now.
