Leveling 4 x 4 posts? 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Hi...

I'm putting 4 x 4 posts in the deck blocks and am sandwiching 2X10 beams on either side of the posts. The problem is that the 4 x 4 posts are wobbling in the deck block so leveling the post is difficult. Should I worry about this or once the structure is built will it be solid? or should I put post anchors in the deck blocks?

Thanks....

That is not the correct way to build. Please refer to our instructions on how to properly use the blocks. The following link will take you there.

When the blocks are used with a post and beam method the result are usually bad. The wobbly post lead to a wobbly deck.
