Coated Decking Screws: A Cost-Effective Solution for Outdoor Applications

When constructing or revamping an outdoor deck or fence, selecting a good fastening option guarantees a sturdy structure that will have a good lifespan. Coated fasteners, specifically hot-dip galvanized or with the Quik Guard® finish, are a popular choice for exterior applications, offering a cost-effective means of safeguarding against degradation and corrosion.

Choosing the Right Coated Deck Screws

If you're working with lumber that's been treated, you'll want to choose a fastener that's able to work with for this type of material. 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 may want to opt for a stainless steel fastener with enhanced corrosion resistance.

Types Of Coatings

Hot-Dip Galvanized Coating

Hot-dip galvanized coating is a popular choice for decking screws, offering 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, making it suitable for use in outdoor applications. 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

Quik Guard® 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 is also highly durable and resistant to scratches and abrasions, ensuring a long-lasting connection.

These are also 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 building a modern deck or a traditional one, these coated screws are a great option for those who want a durable and corrosion-resistant screw that also looks great.
