It just uses standard screws and all the hardware is included in the kit. You only need to supply the boards.

You would not need stainless steel.

All the wood screws needed for the assembly are included in packets inside the cardboard carton. If during shipment your box arrives torn open check you have packages of screws inside.

If you build the bench according to the included instructions the width of the seat would be 13". That would be a pretty comfortable seat width.

I used 2 bench brackets for my benches that are 5 feet 6 inches long. Two brackets are strong and sturdy enough for this length and probably fine up to 6 feet.

Question

mounting vertically?

all the pictures show the brackets attached to outward leaning posts. I have 4x4 verticle posts. Can the brackets be used with verticle posts taking into account the angle of the brackets, still be made level, and still allow for enough material on a 4x4 post to be solidly secured with screws?

This kit is made to be used on The edge of a deck. This kit does not make use of any existing deck posts. If the deck that this item is being placed on has existing posts and rail, it will need to be removed to install this bench bracket. The outward leaning 2x4s that are shown in the picture are part of the bench that you can build with these brackets and not part of an existing rail or post on the deck.

The Deck Bench Brackets can be attached to a concrete base. Different hardware than what is included would be needed for this type of installation. This could be purchased locally at a hardware store.
