How do I get a stable deck railing/privacy screen

[Fialis]

Hi,

I am going to build a deck railing/privacy screen with vertical slats on my deck.
The deck is on paving slabs and the frame consists of 45x145 beams. I was thinking of using 95x95 posts.
How can I best attach these to the frame so that the posts don't wobble?
I built a similar one at the entrance, then I tried carriage bolts, long screws, etc., but couldn't get it right.

Should one screw in an earth screw behind the post to stabilize it?
Does anyone have a good tip on how to solve this?

Hello,

I built a similar one at the entrance using carriage bolts, long screws, etc., but I couldn't get it to work.

Should one screw down a ground screw behind the post to make it stable?
Does anyone have a good tip on how to solve this?

Hello!

I recognize the issue! The diagonal brace wasn't intended initially, it was quite stable even without it, but very stable once it was in place. Have used screws that look like lag screws but with hex heads which are a bit of a favorite.
