Is there anything in the AS (I looked - can't find anything) that says hardwood bearers must be checked into hardwood posts as opposed to face fixed by bolted to the sides?

The pics mostly show notched pictures, but nothing I can find in the text.

Ditto for roof verandah beams.

I wanted to avoid checking in as it's where rot tends to settle I find.

Thanx
Paul
