You may also come across self-drilling decking screws. While these types of screws may cut down some preparation time, they may not hold as firmly as pre-drilled and countersunk screws. When it comes to the visibility of your stainless steel screws, it is purely a personal preference. Some people like the look of the silver screws against the wooden timber decking while others opt for a more seamless look.
If you do want to hide the screws in your deck, you have a couple of options. Adding plugs to the end of the screws is a method that has been around for a while, however, it is not as widely used today.
Some composite decking products like Trex and Azek have plugs available, but these can be quite pricey. A more affordable option is to use colour-matched screws. Typically, no-screw decking involves hidden deck fasteners. Hidden fasteners are mainly used for composite decking whereas timber decking involves top fixing the boards with screws. The screws have sharp threads and points that quickly bite into frame material to reduce splitting. The round head with a built-in washer plus the added shoulder beneath has no sharp edges.
This helps center the screw into predrilled connector plates. Take on the next deck building or repair project with this pack of deck screws by Deck Plus.
The length of the screws and the 4-layer protective coating combine for ideal securing of joists, joist bearings, and joist hangers on outdoor building projects. The epoxy coating is highly effective at safeguarding against chemical corrosion, rain, wood sap, snow, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuation to extend the life of the screws and the deck.
The flathead design allows the screws to sit flush with the deck, while the self-tapping tip and threads easily cut through wood. The thick protective coating can slow the driving speed of the screws in some cases.
Finding the right deck screw to properly connect a support post to the framework of the deck means looking for a product that is both long enough and strong enough to handle the necessary tensile, torque, and shear loads. This package of 50 lag bolts is a great option for both railing and posts with a length of 6 inches. The deck screws have an external hex drive system for easy driving of the screws the full 6 inches deep, burying the head in the material for a flush appearance.
The carbon steel lag bolts have a weather-resistant coating and a tapered head that is designed to countersink into the wood. However, due to the length and thin diameter of these screws, they are vulnerable to bending and breaking if they are driven with too much force. For decking material that is not pressure-treated, consider Eagle Claw deck screws. This stainless steel formulation provides plenty of weather resistance in most environments at a lower price than comparable stainless steel screws.
These deck screws are suitable for hardwood and softwood, including redwood and cedar. They feature a star-drive head, and nibs under the head to help seat the screw. Pilot holes are recommended as these are not self-drilling screws. The package contains 5 pounds of 10 3-inch stainless steel screws. As an affordable alternative, the Hillman Fasteners set contains over screws in one package to help keep costs low on large deck-building projects.
Decking screws are sharp, tapered, self-sinking, and coated for corrosion resistance. Be sure to match your screwdriver bit to the screw head or vice versa. Decking screws generally are machined with a Phillips, square, or a combination head.
Square heads drive more securely. Screws are nearly as quick to drive as nails and have greater holding power. As long as you drive them accurately, without stripping the head, screws are easier to remove than nails. However, many people don't like the way screw heads look because a small amount of water will puddle inside them. Water will not puddle on a nailhead unless you drive it too deep. To an experienced builder, driving nails is a bit faster than driving screws.
However, if you miss a nailhead with the hammer, or if you drive the nail too far, you will mar the wood. And it is difficult to remove a nailed board without damaging the board. Framing connectors strengthen the joints between framing members. Not too long ago, framing members were joined with nails or screws, but most current building codes now require framing hardware.
Attach joists to the side of a ledger or beam using joist hangers. At the corner, either cut a joist hanger in half using tin snips or use an angle bracket. Angled joist hangers accommodate joists that attach at a degree angle. Where a beam sits on top of a post , a post cap provides a reliable joint.
If joists sit on top of a beam, many local codes allow you simply to angle-drive screws to secure the joists to the beam. Other local building departments require special seismic or hurricane ties, which add lateral strength. A post anchor secures a post to a concrete pier and supports it so the bottom can dry between rainfalls. View as Grid List.
