Decking Screw

Decking screws are designed for fastening deck boards and other outdoor wood structures. The coarse thread pattern grips into the wood well. Compared to typical wood screws, decking screws have increased shear and pullout strength. This comes from the larger thread diameter and lower threads per inch. They are self-tapping and can often be driven without pre-drilling pilot holes, reducing installation time. But pilot holes may be needed for very hard woods to prevent splitting. Some decking screws have ribs under the heads to increase gripping power.

Decking screws are optimized for efficient, secure fastening of decking and outdoor projects. The right screws and technique will lead to a long-lasting deck. Correct length is important - too short won't grip enough threads, too long can poke through the bottom. 2-3x the thickness of the top board is a good guideline.
