FAQs

Do I Need to Pre-Drill for Screws?

Yes, pre-drilling clearance holes is recommended to prevent wood splitting, especially on the ends of planks.

Should I be Countersinking my Screws?

In hardwoods, countersinking the screw heads is the correct way to set them at a consistent depth just below the surface.

How Tight Should I Tighten the Screws?

Take care not to overtighten, as this can damage the deck board and/or the screws. Stainless steel screws are softer than carbon steel screws, so handle with care.

What Size Should I Drill my Pilot Hole?
