🔌 Enhance Your Deck's Durability with Pylex 10830 Fixplak 44 Deck Connector in Black Review

Had to install 4 x 4 posts on existing deck to reinforce some railings that were a little wobbly. These things held these bars in place better than the original bar mounts. Highly recommended. The day I rebuild this deck I will use it in all posts.

Pretty easy to use, very long screws have to be used and still have problems with the strength of the post. If I had to do it again I would use brackets with sides so they can be connected from both the side and the bottom. I won't change them for now, they will be enough.

If they are for a ground level patio or slightly raised they will probably fit. But if you are bigger or really need them to be strong, avoid this product. They feel a little wobbly on the go. But a powerful push, and the plate bends and bends. There just isn't enough steel to make them strong. This is a super thin metal. In the photos, I take a few steps back and then clumsily hit the bar. You just don't have the strength. I would be very surprised if they were code.
