    To all the fellow chippies out there... how would you join 4 x 4 post (for a decking fence) to a raised deck?

    Without using those ugly metal brackets as pictured.
    Or possibly without a half lap joint.

    Are there any other hidden ways?

    Notch out the decking boards and bolt into place

    I was thinking something along those lines, possibly a half lap since the brackets are coming to nearly 150 and ruin the look of the completely timber deck.

    To make it even stronger notch it around the joist, use up glue and blot it through the joist and post.
