• As I have said earlier, I normally cut an L shape in the post to exactly fit the frame, then screw it together so the frame sits directly on the post. However, sometimes I have to screw to the outside of a post in places, I haven't had one fail with 4x 6mm stainless screws in 20 years. I have only had one decking come down and that was because 45 tons of next doors' garden subsided straight through it!
