Abstract
A railing bracket for attaching to a base portion of a deck for supporting a deck seat. Right triangle braces or seat supports are attached between the deck floor and the brackets. The lower portion of each bracket attaches to the outside of the deck base, and the upper portion of the bracket angles outward away from the deck base to provide a back rest. A deck stop protrudes from the deck side of the bracket and rests on top of the deck floor boards to enable consistent placement of the brackets to the outside perimeter of the deck base. Seat planks are attached across the top of the support braces, and back rest planks and safety planks are secured to the railing brackets.
