I like the idea you are using maybe some carriage bolts Dan not sure
what it is called but when we did the decks we bought a long shank drill
bit which in the end had a screw type starter and then the flat
cutting blade for the size carriage bolts. do not rush the project for
winter. get David over there from Johnstown to help you cut some 2 by
6's for that top rail and router or belt sand the edges. Cut back on
the beer for this job and wait until all done to kick back and enjoy a
cold one or two. Lee
