| When I build steps I've been bolting the posts to the stringers at the second step so that I have more stringer to bolt to and can place the bolts further apart. This makes for a very solid post although I don't really like the way it looks. I think it looks better to have the posts right at the bottom step but then there is only 5 inches of stringer to bolt to. Since I never set these posts in the ground it isn't very solid this way. Just wondering how other guys do it and if there was any advice.. thanks

| Insert a threaded rod so that it goes through one 4x4 and stringer all the way over to the other side where the other 4x4 is. This makes for a very solid connection. You could also bolt L-bracket

| That's an interesting idea. I've also used 'X' bracing in between the stringers to make the stringers more solid on the bottom. Then tightening the rod wouldn't pull the stringers out of square. Thanks for that.
