Steel Phillips Flat Head Screws for Wood
These screws are beveled under the head for use in countersunk holes. They press threads into material for a tight, secure hold. To prevent splitting, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw. Length is measured from the top of the head.
Black-oxide steel screws resist mild corrosion in dry environments.
Zinc-plated steel screws resist corrosion in wet environments.

18-8 Stainless Steel Phillips Flat Head Screws for Wood
18-8 stainless steel screws have good chemical resistance and are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. All are beveled under the head for use in countersunk holes. They press threads into material for a tight, secure hold. To prevent splitting, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw. They may be mildly magnetic. Length is measured from the top of the head.

Phillips Screws for Softwood and Plastic-Wood Composites
A curved neck sinks into material, so these screws sit flush with the surface. Also known as deck screws, they have a sharp point and narrow body to penetrate softwood and plastic-wood composite decking material. They're made from hardened steel and have a corrosion-resistant coating that resists at least 500 hours of salt spray. Length is measured from the top of the head.

18-8 Stainless Steel Thread-Cutting Small-Head
Screws for Softwood and Plastic-Wood Composites
18-8 stainless steel screws have good chemical resistance and are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. Also known as trim-head deck screws, they have a small flat head and slender shank to reduce the risk of splitting. The Type 17 auger point and narrow body penetrate softwood and plastic-wood composite decking material. They cut threads into drilled holes as they’re turned, so they require less driving torque and cause less stress on material than thread-forming screws. Screws may be mildly magnetic. Length is measured from the top of the head.

Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Thread-Cutting
Small-Head Screws for Softwood and Plastic-Wood Composites
More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel screws, these have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water and are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. Also known as trim-head deck screws, they have a small flat head and slender shank to reduce the risk of splitting. The Type 17 auger point and narrow body penetrate softwood and plastic-wood composite decking material. They cut threads into drilled holes as they’re turned, so they require less driving torque and cause less stress on material than thread-forming screws. Screws may be mildly magnetic.

Sealing Screws for Softwood and Plastic-Wood Composites
The neoprene-backed washer seals out contaminants. Also known as trim-head deck screws, they have a small flat head and slender shank to reduce the risk of splitting. They have a Type 17 auger point to penetrate softwood and plastic-wood composite decking material. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, they have good chemical resistance and are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. Screws may be mildly magnetic.

Screw Nails for Metal, Plastic, and Plywood
Also known as round-head Type U drive screws, these fasteners drive like nails but hold with screw-like strength. Use them in drilled and punched holes. The hole size should be slightly smaller than the shank diameter.
Zinc-plated steel screw nails resist rust.
18-8 stainless steel screw nails have good corrosion resistance and may be mildly magnetic.
