Forgefix Timber Fixing Screws - Green - 6.3 X 100mm - Bag 20

These screws are engineered for all types of decking timber, exterior timber, fencing, and landscaping applications, providing excellent holding power in various wood densities.

Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended, especially in harder timbers or near edges, to prevent splitting and to make insertion easier. The pilot hole should be slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter.

The ACQ resistant coating protects the screws from corrosion, especially when used in contact with ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) treated timber. It provides up to 1000 hours of salt spray protection.

While they can be used indoors, their design is optimized for exterior use and timber applications. For indoor projects, consider screws specifically designed for those environments.

You will need a drill or impact driver equipped with a hex bit that matches the size of the screw's hex flange head.

'Single part' means the screw is a complete unit and does not require a separate washer for installation, simplifying the process.

The extremely coarse threads engage more deeply and firmly with the timber fibers, providing significantly increased holding power and reducing the likelihood of the screw loosening over time.

Ensure you are using the correct size hex bit and that it is firmly seated. Reduce driving speed and apply consistent downward pressure.

Pre-drill a pilot hole that is appropriately sized for the screw's core diameter. Ensure you are not over-tightening the screw.

Verify that the pilot hole is not too large. Ensure the screw is fully seated and has entered a solid part of the timber. The coarse thread is designed for strong grip; check for issues with the timber itself if problems persist.

While designed for 1000 hours salt spray protection, severe prolonged exposure to harsh corrosive elements might eventually affect the coating. Ensure the screw is correctly installed and the surrounding timber is maintained.
