| Details for Deck Posts Position Plans
 Free Deck Posts Position plans - Learn how to position your deck posts accurately with these simple do it yourself steps. Deck beams can either 1) be lag-screwed or bolted to the posts, or 2) sit on top of them. Both methods are strong. The screw or bolt method helps keep the beam from twisting, while the on-top method is slightly more resistant to downward pressure from the deck. An accomplished carpenter might choose the latter method since it avoids a lot of drilling and fastening. Though quicker, it\'s less forgiving of mistakes because the post tops must be accurately cut so the beam can rest on them.
