FAQs

What bit size do I need for these screws?

You must use a No.2 Square Bit for these screws.

Can these be used with non-Ecoscape decking?

While designed for Ecoscape, they may work with other systems, but always test on a scrap piece first.

Are these screws rust-proof?

They are designed for outdoor use and are resistant to corrosion, but they should be kept dry until the moment of installation.

Should I pre-drill the composite boards?

Pre-drilling is recommended to prevent the composite material from mushrooming or splitting, especially near the board ends.

Are these screws suitable for metal sub-frames?

These screws are primarily intended for use with timber sub-frames. Check your sub-frame specifications before installation.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping during installation

Verify that you are using a genuine No.2 Square Bit and ensure the drill is set to a lower torque to prevent cam-out.

Screw is not sitting flush

Ensure you have pre-drilled the composite board if necessary to allow the screw head to seat properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Seamless visual integration with brown composite decking
  • Precise 40mm length for standard installation depths
  • Corrosion-resistant materials for outdoor durability
  • Maintains structural integrity of composite boards

Cons

  • Requires a specific No.2 Square Bit for installation
  • Not compatible with standard Phillips or flathead drivers
  • Single-colour finish may not match all brands of composite

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin installation, ensure your sub-frame is level and the composite boards are correctly spaced. You must use a No.2 Square Bit to drive these screws; using an incorrect bit will likely strip the head of the screw and damage the board surface. It is recommended to use a drill with an adjustable torque setting to avoid over-tightening. For care, ensure the screws are driven flush to the board surface. If you are working in a coastal environment, consider applying a thin layer of exterior-grade sealant if any surface scratching occurs during installation to prevent oxidation over long periods.
