There are several methods for attaching stringers to a deck, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common methods include using joist hangers, lag bolts, or Simpson Strong-Tie connectors.
The best way to attach stringers to a deck will depend on the specific deck design and the materials being used. However, all methods should ensure that the stringers are securely attached to the deck frame and that they are level and plumb.
