Bob,
Thank you for recommending www.decks.com. We are always looking to
improve the site. We show 3 or 4 different techniques at this
connection. There are many people that use these different techniques.
We felt it was only fair to show them all. We mot prefer you to have a
bolt connection at the post and pier.
Thank you again.
