Most common of the TECO brackets are the ubiquitous "joist hangers".

Go to Home Depot, explain your problem, Pay the nice person.
I believe TECO is a brand name. They make an assortment of joist hangers
and the like.

Although TECO is the brand name of the product, around here it
is often referred to a particular bracket. It is an "L" shaped
bracket (w/ holes for nails) as if you were to nail it inside
a corner. It has a slot cut in its corner so you can fold down
these tabs for attaching all sorts of things. When someone says
on the job site "Get me a TECO" this is what is brought.

Yeah, we must have used a hundred of those on our deck. And at least ten
bags of "Special Nails".
Try getting a Simpson catalogue. They make any kind of connector you can
imagine and carry ICBO approval.

What you probably want is a H-34 Hurricane tie or ancor from the Simpson
catalog
