[QUOTE="risingsun, post: 340679, member: 1782"] I have done 3 decks. Never attached any due to the ground shifting/ frost heaving etc. Only did one composite, which had wedge type hold downs and were a total PIA, so it all got drilled out and used screws. I also used the cement bases that a 4 x 4 slides into. They have worked well with no issues. And if you ever do have an issue, as noted in above post, it takes more to fix the issue if footing underground. With the cement bases, you can easily shim up or down as needed. Something like this.
