Which fasteners should I use on my new composite deck?
Sometimes this simple question can be one that people forget to ask themselves. It’s often the last and most overlooked decision when it comes to building your new outdoor living space.
It’s easy to get lost in decisions like which color to go with, what layout do I want, and should I include a border around my deck?
No matter the style, color, and design you decide on, we have a fastening solution for you.
While our decking accepts numerous other fastening systems, we recommend using one of our own.
Let’s explore those options.
Color Match Composite Deck Screws
If you are sticking to a tight budget, our composite deck screws are your best option. They also offer the highest holding power.
You may just feel more comfortable face fastening your deck boards, after all, face fastening has been trusted for years on both wood and composite decks.
Not only one of the most cost-effective ways to fasten your deck, our color match deck screws offer premium performance.
The screw features include:
- A deep recessed star drive head to prevent cam-out
- Reverse threading to prevent mushrooming and surface imperfections
- Tri-lobular shank, acute threading, and type 99 slash point to provide the driving power needed to penetrate the densest of boards.
Color matched for all our board colors, these screws are available in Epoxy Coated Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel and are intended for use on square edge, full profile or fluted profile boards.
These screws meet the needs of pro deck builders as well as the DIY homeowner.
