Hardware for suspending wood beams from a wall

hardware

I have an idea for some external decor feature on my home. In order to execute on it, I need a special kind of fastening hardware that I couldn’t begin to guess the name of.

The closest thing I’ve found is a hanger bolt or a stand-off screw, but what I would really like is something that has built in washers or “platforms” as pictured.

The hanger bolt has neither and all the stand off pins or screws I’ve found don’t have the kind of depth I would need to fasten those beams down (I’m looking for about 3/4” worth of depth).

I’ve illustrated the needed hardware in this image:

I made a cedar hand rail and came up with a stand off to set it off of the posts by a couple of inches.

I used a carriage bolt but you could do it with a lag bolt or machine bolt.

Lag into house, washer, sleeve, washer, lumber with recessed/counter sink hole, washer, lag head.
