Building a quality deck that lasts requires the right type of fasteners. Screws are commonly used to secure deck boards, while nails are most often used for attaching joist hangers to the framing. When choosing deck screws, it's important to make sure they're made of material that is corrosion-resistant. This is especially important when working with cedar and pressure-treated lumber. Our recommendation is using stainless steel deck screws.

Bugle Head Screws, #2 Square Drive, 305 Stainless Steel
Type 305 Stainless Steel - Wood Screws Type 17 notched point for fast penetration Self-countersinking bugle head Square drive recess reduces driver cam-out Threaded approximately 2/3 of shank on most sizes Deep coarse threads for better hold Important Installation Instructions: If the screws are to be driven by a screw gun, be sure the bit is securely seated in the square recess of the screw. Start slowly and gradually increase speed until the head is driven flush. A high driving speed increases the chance of stripping the square drive recess. If the tool has an adjustable torque collar, use a piece of scrap lumber to determine the proper setting needed to drive the head flush with the surface. This will prevent twisting off the screw head.
