Description
DECK SCREWS ARE SPECIALIZED FASTENERS DESIGNED TO RESIST CORROSION IN ADVERSE
OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. The deck screw drives easily into deck
boards, and once set, the head lays smoothly against the deck surface. Deck
screws feature a Robertson Drive, also known as a Square, or Scrulox drive
which has a square shaped socket in the screw head for high torque and minimal
slippage. Since wood decks have many thin planks and must withstand harsh
environmental conditions, deck screws are designed to accommodate the
challenges of this application. They must resist corrosion, drive easily, and
lay smoothly against the deck surface, called countersinking. For these
reasons, many deck screws are self-countersinking, self-drilling, and coated
with materials that won’t rust. Like other screws, deck screws come in a wide
variety of lengths and widths, called shanks. They also use different shapes
of driver, the part on the screw head that allows a screwdriver to dig in to
the wood and rotate. A popular head shape is a square, because it holds the
driver and doesn’t strip as easily as Phillips heads. One feature of deck
screws that makes them easy to install is the sharpness of their point. They
often come to a very sharp, narrow point, to reduce the necessity of drilling
pilot holes. Especially in a soft deck wood like cedar, these screws can be
fastened without needing to pre-drill the hole, called self-tapping. Secondly,
screws designed for a deck will propel themselves into place because of their
unique shank design. The thread of the screw is measured in degrees, so a
shallower degree means more thread along the length. These threads spread out
the force, so the screw takes less effort to put in, yet it is still difficult
to pull out. Some types of deck screws are lubricated so they slide into the
wood even more easily.
