You asked about the structural part of the question, which of these to use, not deck screws. We cannot answer that question. If you wish we can use washers on both sides of the wood, either a carriage screw bolt or a carriage bolt carriage can be used. It is better to use a large washer and to space the screws five spaces apart Tim, I think you should use at least 8 inches of wood and use as much as you can, since there will be a lot of pressure on the wood
My sincere thanks go out to A guardrail or handrail must be designed to support a concentrated load of 200 pounds in any direction, according to the current International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC). In order to construct an effective deck connection, it is crucial that the guardrail post and the rim board of the deck have a solid connection. It is generally recommended to use a 1/2" through-bolt To connect the two pieces, you will use a bolt or carriage bolt. As soon as the Fasten Master 6 is installed as directed, The 1/2" ThruLOK and the 8" ThruLOK can replace the 1/2" bolts, which meet the 200 pound design load. www is a great place to start.

The installation process is very straightforward. The 1/2" lag bolt has an easy removal feature, making this an excellent alternative. In this project, 1/2" lag blots were used to refurbish a large, multilevel deck. Because of this, it was nearly impossible to remove them, as you had to loosen the nut almost all the way off, then use a brass hammer to pound out the lag enough to use vise grips and screws to remove it. When you use Thrulok, you merely screw in the driver and pull it out as easily as you put it in. In spite of their galvanized finishes, Whether or not these will remain as strong as 1/2" lag bolts in 5 or 10 years depends on how new technology develops. There was rust inside the wood of the 1/2" lags I removed, but they were not damaged. Thruloks are galvanized so that they are more durable. Their diameter is much smaller than those of Thruloks.
Compared to 1/2" bolts recommended by IRC, they perform as well or better. Put the nut driver in a 1/2" drill (a standard drill or impact driver will not suffice - you must use a nut driver) and drill through the nut. My Ryobi 18V hammer drill was set to low speed drill). Drive the bolt and provided washer through the joist and post, thread the nut on finger tight, then finish driving the bolt. There are easy to read diagrams included with each to show how they are installed. Fasteners that are the best of all!.
My grandson will use these in a tree house for which I purchased these. This product does not include lag screws to anchor one corner of the platform to the tree. The rim joist was anchored to each of the three posts using these anchors. The number of corners is 6. Consider that we did not have to drill any holes, and that $2 per fastener is such a great deal. I took maybe 10 seconds per fastener to drive in these with my 20V impact driver and 5/16 bit. Using cap nuts to cover sharp edges is also appealing to me. replaced the batteries mid-way through the project as these take some energy to work. I am not sure a smaller battery would suffice
I ordered another pair of hand rails to finish the project. The product is great.
I was able to accomplish my goal with these Attach 4x4 posts to rim joists on a 12'x20' deck/porch (with part of the roof covered). On the FastenMaster website, they demonstrate how well they work and how tight they pull the post to the joist (the only difference is that you must clamp the post or it will try to push away from you when the screw or bolt is inserted). In retrospect, I wish I had been able to get some 8" for close to same price. If I had braced the post with an extra 2x in front and behind, the post would have been even more strengthened. Someone else mentioned, the nut on the backside of the board is large, so you need to be mindful of where you exit on the other side of the board. Nuts cannot be applied if the boards are too close to each other or if they are too close to the side boards. In viewing these issues, you will find that they drill deeply into themselves over and over again. My rigid impact driver allowed me to install a box plus without recharging it. My favorites are the ones that save me a ton.
My wife and I would never build steps without this product, and I can't imagine trying to drill posts We haven't to drill, use lag bolts, or try to turn a wrench on lag bolts. Once the lag bolts are tightened with an impact driver, there is no drilling or lag bolts. It couldn't be simpler or more pleasing to the eye. It may be a bit pricey, but it isn't prohibitive and they easily make up for it in terms of ease of use and functionality.
The user interface is intuitive. Since I am a contractor, I have been using these materials for years on my decks. I like them because they are faster to use and I save money and time on the job by using them. Be sure to use according to the manufacturers' recommendations to meet code You need to keep in mind where the items will exit on the other side and you need to leave enough.
The pressure-reducing valves are used for a 4 inch pressure-lowering valve The posts on my deck are treated. This clamp is used to hold up a post and screws were put in so quickly that the job was completed in no time at all. I would definitely.
The deck post attachment is much easier with this tool. This was particularly helpful in my application where it was a tight squeeze to attach the posts. To get the 90-degree angle, I needed a 90-degree angle Although I could imagine drilling a hole while keeping it straight then driving a carriage bolt through, I couldn't imagine drilling it straight, while keeping it straight. Only thing I don't like about them is that the nuts are hideous, but for me, they aren't visible, and I am assuming that many people will not notice. Here's the problem.
