![]() I going to replace the decking, so it’s no loss. The deck board was removed to better align the guard post and install the bolts and hold down anchor. The upper 1×2 strip is fastened with a single screw so I can rotate it vertically to slip it between the pickets, then turn it horizontally so it rests against the pickets to keep the post from falling outward. The lower 1×2 block holds the guard post at the required height and bears the weight of the post on the 2×10 beam. I solved the problem by fastening 1×2 support braces with Simpson Strong-Tie SD #9 x 1-1/2 inch screws to hold the guard post in place until I installed the 1/2 inch bolts (see next photo). I’m working alone and needed three hands to install the guard posts.
