Deck Post Rot

George33 | Posted in Construction Techniques on

How would I repair this rot?  I was going to caulk in the hole but this may just hide the problem, not fix it. Thanks.

    Is the post angled to brace the deck?. I would do new. If not. get something like that flex seal. It gets rolled or brush on when dried it it forms a seal.

      Thanks. Decided to soak with Ethylene Glycol (antifreeze) and provide shade to prevent further water soaking the joint from the deck.
