The small rail is now firmly attached to a metal brace...
The corners are seriously attached with pocket hole screws!
The top rails are solidly attached with 3"deck screws...
And I am fighting the warped deck board with a soaking towel.
My strongest clamps are not sufficient to force the warped board down flat, so I am using water to encourage the board flat... Water on the top should force the board flat again. And then I will keep that board there with several 3" deck screws.
I'm close to rebuilding the 20 year old deck, but there are good reasons to maintain it "tolerably" for another year...
