Nice Joinery

All the joins on this deck are simple and very sturdy. The 2x2s that make up the railing slats are screwed onto horizontal 2x2s at top and bottom. Then the vertical 2x2s next to the 4x4s are screwed into them instead of the horizontal 2x4. This makes it all very sturdy but doesn't marr the surface of the 2x4 or have you screwing down vertically into the 2x2s. I also liked the sanded and rounded cedar - much nicer than regular deckwood.
