Deck pins

[denny]

I have given up on the deck pins. Since the bail/keepers and pins have parted ways, I have lost a pin or two.  Stoped by Home Depot and picked up three 5/16 X 3 1/2 inch bolts, washers and lock nuts.  I was going to cover with shrink wrap didn't have that size so just wrapped the threads with electrical tape.  Went in easier and easy enuff to tighten. I be sitting in tall cotton.

If you are not pulling the deck very often, that is the way to go. Others have used a pin and cotter key so a little easier to remove if you need to but can still lose them
