Features Net-Coat treated corrosion protection for high corrosion resistance and minimum timber damage on insertion. Awarded the TDA's DeckMark accreditation. These screws are CPT-hardened to offer the strength of a high-tensile bolt and help prevent breakages. A Tri-Lock gives three flats on the thread, preventing loosening by initially expanding the wood which then relaxes back around the screw to lock it in position. The coarse single thread clamps timbers fast, with a high pull-out retention for a solid fix. Net-Coat protection helps withstand the elements, working against the chemicals in treated timber to combat galvanic corrosion. Perfect for use with decking, fencing and sheds, and ideal for use with pressure-treated timbers. They offer long-lasting security, won't unscrew over time, and have TDCA DeckMark+ status for quality and performance. The unique thread pitch to core size ratio gives the perfect balance between ease of insertion and pull-out retention whilst increasing the core sheer strength. The Tri-Lock thread forms, not cuts, a thread in the material, expanding the wood which then relaxes back around the screw ensuring a tight and locked fix. Once driven in the screw will not move, it is secure for good. Spiral point for immediate start, no pilot hole required. Permeated case with through hardening allows the perfect balance between core ductility and surface toughness with the strength of a high tensile bolt, the screw will not snap. Part thread eliminates jacking where a full threaded screw tends to pull apart the jointed material. Collar gives strength to the most vulnerable point of the screw, whilst allowing a deeper recess and less cam-out for a secure drive. Three flats on the thread means that as the screw is driven there is less surface contact between the screw and timber allowing less battery wear, easier insertion and the screw will not work loose as the boards are walked upon. Net-Coat Green is developed for new pressure treated timber and outdoor use.
This guide is for anyone using Tite-Fix Deck-Tite Pozi Screws, specifically the 4 x 40mm green variant. These screws are designed for decking, fencing, and shed construction, offering high corrosion resistance and a secure, long-lasting hold. Note that while they are designed for pressure-treated timber, it's always best to pre-drill in very hard or dense woods.

FAQs
What size drill bit should I use for pre-drilling?
Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter.
Are these screws suitable for use with hardwood?
While suitable for pressure-treated timber, pre-drilling is highly recommended for hardwoods.
What is the Tri-Lock thread?
The Tri-Lock thread expands the wood during insertion and then relaxes back around the screw, ensuring a secure and locked fix.
What does Net-Coat protection do?
Net-Coat provides high corrosion resistance, protecting the screws from the elements and chemicals in treated timber.
What is the DeckMark accreditation?
It signifies that the screws have been tested and meet the quality and performance standards set by the Timber Decking Association (TDA).
How many screws are in a pack?
There are 200 screws in the pack.
Can these screws be used with composite decking?
These screws are specifically designed for timber, and may not be suitable for composite decking.
Troubleshooting
Screw is difficult to drive in.
Ensure you are using the correct pozi bit. Pre-drill if the wood is hard.
Screw head strips during installation.
Apply more pressure and ensure the pozi bit is a snug fit. Reduce the drill speed.
Decking boards are moving after installation.
Ensure screws are fully inserted and tightened. Check if the timber is properly supported.

The green color may not suit all aesthetic preferences.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Use a pozi screwdriver bit that fits the screw head. Start the screw with the spiral point, and drive it in straight.
Pre-Drilling: While not always necessary, pre-drilling is recommended for very hard or dense woods to prevent splitting. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter.
Compatibility: These screws are designed for use with pressure-treated timbers, ideal for decking, fencing, and sheds. Ensure the timber is compatible with the screw length (40mm).
Care: No special care is required. Ensure that the heads are not over-tightened, which could damage the wood. Inspect your deck or fence periodically for any signs of damage or loosening.
