Achieve 20-degree slope on horizontal stud
Of course it's possible, what's the problem?

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.🤷♂️T Thomas_Blekinge said:
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..👍K kniv said:Please share what your intuition concludes.

The absolute simplest, and definitely strong enough for a fence, etc., is to screw it directly into the post at an angle to achieve the alignment you want with the recess.
I will share my intuition when it's ready.
