Is this advanced? Considering a 20-degree slope on the horizontal rule where the slats will be attached, but the problem is the integration with the post, see pictures.

I don't have any specific tools other than a miter saw and a circular saw, is it even possible then?

  • Illustration of a horizontal support beam attached to a vertical post with screws, showing proper installation for improved durability in construction.
Of course it's possible, what's the problem?

What is the best way to create the slope with the tools, and how should one think about integrating it against the post, considering the slope?
 
Take a folding ruler, extend two sections, fold it, and place the end at 78 cm to get 20 degrees, at the angle at 40 cm.

Can you tilt the blade on the circular saw 20 degrees?

Yep, that's possible, but how do I handle the embedding against the 95x95 post? See the picture if you don't understand.
 
Ignore the scuffing where the rule meets the post

And how do I start cutting with the circular saw 5cm into the rule for the slope?
 
Start sawing 5cm in by lowering the saw

Can't you attach the bearer beams on the other side of the post and make the recess with a corresponding 20 degrees on the top side as well?

What? You just want the top side of the beam to have a 20-degree incline for better water drainage. The pictures don't show anything about notching against the post. The beam is simply screwed directly onto the post. If not, you need to explain better what notching you mean.

The beam should be embedded against the post, and how to make the 20 degrees for runoff right at the embedding against the post... I've received some good tips, but there are probably more, perhaps even better ones, to be honest.🤷‍♂️

Now we're onto something! But my intuition tells me there are simpler ways to proceed.

Please share what your intuition concludes. This seems unnecessarily complicated without a really good justification for why, especially the mortising into the post. Unclear what it is supposed to achieve. The absolute simplest, and definitely strong enough for a fence, etc., is to simply screw it diagonally directly into the post so that it aligns in the way you wish to achieve with the mortise.

I think we simply have a different sense of detail..👍

I will share my intuition when it's ready.
