What's the point of those slanted 2x4s above the ledgers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I wonder if the walkway floats on those supports, and the 2x4 is a stop that can wear/break, rather than let the steel post damage the walkway.

Total guess, I can't really see any reason why you'd have a 2x4 there.

I was thinking it drains water away from a level 4x4 post so that the post lasts longer

Ooh, I like your thinking even better.

That makes much more sense, I've actually seen that on the top of wooden posts for that reason. Being a steel post, I didn't think of it.
