Coated Timber Decking Screws

Coated Decking Screws are a Cost-Effective Solution for Your Deck Build

When constructing or revamping an outdoor deck or fence, choosing a good fastening option guarantees that you get a good, sturdy structure that will have a long lifespan.

Coated fasteners, specifically hot-dip galvanized or with the Quik Guard® finish, are a popular choice for outdoor applications such as decks or wood fences and offer a cost-effective way to safeguard against rust and corrosion.

Choosing the Right Deck Screws

If you're working with decking lumber that's been treated, you'll want to choose a deck screw that's able to work with for this type of material. Coated screws do with in treated deck boards and substructure.

Additionally, your budget and the environmental conditions your structure will face should also be taken into account. For example, if your deck will be exposed to saltwater or high humidity, you will want to opt for a stainless steel fastener with enhanced corrosion resistance.

Types Of Deck Screw Coatings

Hot-Dip Galvanized Coating

A hot-dip galvanized coating is a popular choice for decking screws and offers a thick, protective layer of zinc that resists corrosion and rust. The galvanizing process involves immersing the screw in a bath of molten zinc, creating a strong bond between the screw and the coating.

This process provides excellent corrosion resistance, which makes it suitable for use in outdoor construction. The thick layer of zinc also provides a durable barrier against the elements, ensuring a long-lasting connection.

One of the main benefits of hot-dip galvanized coating is its cost-effectiveness. Compared to stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials, this coating is a more affordable option.

Quik Guard® Coating

The Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Guard® coating is a proprietary coating technology that provides a high level of corrosion resistance and durability. It is designed to provide advanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in most outdoor environments. The coating on these screws is also highly durable and resistant to scratches and abrasions, ensuring a long-lasting connection.

Deck screws coated in the Quik Guard coating are available in a range of colors, which complements any deck design. The coating is also smooth, consistent and provides a professional finish.

Whether you're setting up for building a deck or repairing a fence, these coated screws are a great option for those who want a durable and corrosion-resistant screw that also looks great.
