FAQs

What is Net-Coat protection?

Net-Coat is a special coating applied to the screws to increase corrosion resistance, especially in treated timber.

What is the Tri-Lock thread?

The Tri-Lock thread features three flats, preventing the screw from loosening over time by expanding the wood initially and then locking in place.

Where can I use Deck-Tite screws?

Deck-Tite screws are ideal for decking, fencing, and shed construction using pressure-treated timber.

Do I need to pre-drill before using Deck-Tite screws?

Pre-drilling is recommended for harder wood to prevent splitting and ease installation. It's often optional for softwoods.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, Deck-Tite screws are specifically designed for outdoor applications and are built to withstand the elements.

What is the DeckMark accreditation?

DeckMark accreditation signifies that the screws meet the quality and performance standards set by the TDA (Timber Decking Association).

How do I choose the right screw size?

Select the screw size based on the thickness of the timber and the specific application. Refer to product specifications for recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Screw is not holding securely.

Ensure the correct screw size is used for the application. Tighten the screw. If the issue persists, replace the screw with a new one.

Screw head is stripping.

Use the correct drill bit size. Apply steady pressure while driving the screw. If stripping continues, try a different screw or pre-drill.

Screw is difficult to drive in.

Pre-drill pilot holes in harder wood. Ensure the drill bit is aligned correctly and applying sufficient pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Select the Correct Size: Choose the appropriate screw size based on the thickness of the timber and the application. Refer to the product specifications for recommended sizes.
