Deck Handrail & Support Beam
Ok, so I've got two questions.
1. The attached pics are how we do a lot of decks here in NW Arkansas. However, I've been struggling to get CA to do something like this without having to manually draw everything. Any ideas out there? The pic "Handrail (cutaway).jjpg" is here so you can see the component pieces of this system.
2. How can I either move that beam to the end of the deck, or make the end rim joist double to act like a beam?? Is there a DBX I'm missing that all
Jonathan, This came up again in another thread so I took another look at the situation and was able to use the railing tools to create what I think is the correct configuration and cross section. However things start to fall apart when you come to the next newel post or a corner as Chief just does not seem to have the flexibility to do anything like this properly yet when it comes to railings. Getting closer though.
