Deck screws are specialised fasteners used for securing decking boards to the underlying framing, such as joists and beams, in outdoor construction projects. They are designed to provide a secure and long-lasting connection between the decking boards and the framing, ensuring that the deck is stable and safe.

Deck screws are typically made from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or coated steel, to prevent rust and corrosion caused by exposure to the elements. They are available in various lengths, diameters, and thread types to accommodate different decking board and framing sizes and types.

Some deck screws have a special design, such as a modified thread or a self-drilling tip, which can help to make installation faster and easier. Some also have a special coating or treatment that provides additional protection against corrosion and rust.

When installing deck screws, it’s important to use the correct size and type of screw for the specific decking and framing materials being used, to ensure a secure and long-lasting connection. It’s also important to pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting and to ensure that the screw is driven straight into the wood.
