Composite Decking and Cladding Colour Coded Screw - Brown - 63mm

No. These screws are designed exclusively for a No.2 Square Drive bit. Using other drive types will result in stripping the head.

For most composite applications, pre-drilling is not strictly required, but it is highly recommended if installing near the edge of a board to avoid splitting.

While they are corrosion-resistant, they are intended for standard residential decking applications. Check with the manufacturer if installing in high-salt coastal areas.

The coating is designed to be UV-stable, but like all outdoor materials, some minor colour shift may occur after several years of intense sun exposure.

These are primarily for board-to-joist fastening, though they can be used to secure starter boards or fascia boards where hidden clips cannot reach.

Verify that you are using a fresh No.2 Square Bit and ensure the bit is fully seated before applying pressure.

Reduce the torque setting on your drill and ensure you are pre-drilling a small pilot hole.

Ensure the debris from the composite board is cleared from the hole and check that the screw is entering at a perfect 90-degree angle.
