Deck Screws
High-Performance Deck Screws for Secure Outdoor Construction
Deck screws are specialized fasteners crafted to provide superior holding power and longevity in outdoor applications. These screws specifically feature corrosion-resistant materials and finishes to withstand the weather exposure it will endure in these applications. With sharp points and deep, wide threads, deck screws are designed to penetrate wood materials smoothly without splitting. These enhanced features make them an essential component for many projects, including but not limited to decking.
The primary function of deck screws is to securely join wood or composite materials while withstanding the challenges of outdoor environments. The threads – available in several types and serrated reamer styles – are engineered to bite into the material with minimal mushrooming and splitting to reduce pop-outs and wood damage. Working specifically with high-quality deck screws is crucial for maintaining the integrity and appearance of outdoor decks over time.

Deck Screws vs. Regular Screws in Decking
Specialized deck screws are best for decking applications because they are specifically designed to resist weather corrosion and outdoor elements. They also feature sharper points and threads for extra security and reduced splitting. Those with reverse threading allow the deck board to pull more tightly against the joist.
