I'm building a 14'x14' freestanding deck. 2' cantilever front and back. 2x12 beams running parallel to the back of the house. 2x10 floor joists running out to the yard. My issue is this: I have zero left to right movement in the structure. However, I have a slight shimmy front to back. I have knee braces installed. I'm not sure if they're not set low enough... Or, would a hurricane strap eliminate the sway that I have going on? I didn't realize the pictures were so dark, I can get some in the daylight tomorrow evening. You're deck is swaying on the posts regardless of your "knee braces". Lock all the posts together a little lower than your knee braces with let in "beams" and bolts. I sounds like your getting "wobble" in the "stems". Based upon how I see you ran the decking, the posts are still wobbling "across" the decking. You wouldn't have this issue if you could attach to the house structure, however; In municipalities now, ( because of all the deck collapses, in the news ) you can no longer attach to the house. ( great, more deck collapses to come, even with this STUPID new rule) Sorry. Back to you're point: Unitize all the posts below the knee brace. Even if you were to "let in" and carriage bolt all your post perpendicular to the decking, and call it a day, you're going to eliminate that lateral movement.
