A deck and fence mounting block and method of mounting is provided to attach a deck or fence to a building. The deck and fence mounting block comprises a plate-like member with steep top and bottom side edges and an aperture that penetrates the plate along a Y axis along which the length of the plate-like body is measured. The aperture is positioned closer to one end of the plate-like body than to the other so that when the plate is suspened by a bolt assembly or lag bolt extending through the aperture, the plate-like body will hang so that the Y axis is plumb. The deck or fence is thus spaced away from the building so that moisture is quickly deflected from the joint and not allowed to accumulate, the plate-like body being squeezed tightly between the support members to hold them apart.
