I'm having my deck rebuilt by what I thought was a professional, but we're on day 2 and I'm having my doubts on his competence. I've already had to make him fix 3 rather large errors, so I'm about an inch away from firing him and just doing it myself.
Anyway, my question is about the top railing. I bought the type of railing from Lowes that's basically a 2x4 that has been shaped and somewhat finished, and you attach a 2x4 underneath to create the top rail. Sort of like this, but not exactly:
My thoughts were that Lowes might have a bracket that's supposed to connect them. Or failing that, I've attached wood with Liquid Nail that wouldn't come apart without a hammer, so I thought that might be the more appropriate solution.
What's the correct way to attach them? Any help would be very much appreciated! TIA,
Jason
