Deck Screws

Do you want to construct a professional wooden deck? Use our 410 stainless steel quality deck screws when installing your deck. A deck is an investment in itself, which means you want the best possible screw. The screws with which you build your deck will need to pass the test of time. The weather causes your wood to expand and contract. Galvanised screws are strong enough to handle this movement of your decking, but they will oxidise over time. Normal stainless steel screws of A2 or C1 quality do not oxidise, but are much weaker than galvanised screws. You will find that these screws break frequently and cannot handle the movement of the wood. Wovar is your online shop for stainless steel hardwood screws. These screws are well-suited for hardwood decking boards as well as other hardwood planks. In addition to our stainless steel 410 deck screws, also check out our galvanised garden screws with torx star drive.

Attributes of Wovar deck screws

Our high-quality deck screws are made of 410 stainless steel. These screws do not oxidise and are just as strong as galvanised screws. A special heat treatment produces these extra robust decking screws. Decking screws are also referred to as decking screws. The screws have an extra deep torx 25 drive, which ensures that the tool will not slip when fastening the screw. Naturally, Wovar supplies a torx bit for free with every box of deck screws. The flat, countersunk head contains milling ribs underneath. This firmly secures the screw into the wood, which provides a smooth finish. Are you planning to install smooth-planed decking boards? Then use the Wovar countersink drill bits, 4 mm, for beautifully countersunk deck screws.

The right length of decking screws

Because the deck screws are partially threaded, the decking boards are pulled tight against the joists. The cutting point ensures that you do not have to drill any pilot holes in softwood. If you wish to install hardwood decking boards, however, we do recommend drilling a pilot hole. You can use our 3.5 mm hardwood drill bits for this. Select the correct length deck screw by multiplying the thickness of your decking board by 2. An example: are you installing decking boards with a thickness of 25 mm? Then go for our (25 x 2 = 50 mm) 5 x 50 mm decking screws. Guarantee the correct distance between the boards with our range of spacers. 

Deck board spacers

For the perfect assembly of your decking boards, the screws are of course very important. In addition to the screws, the distance between the boards also determines the look of your deck. Crooked boards and different spacings can ruin an otherwise beautiful deck. Ensure even spacing with Wovar's spacers. The spacer is multifunctional, so it is suitable for gaps of 5, 7, 8, and 10 mm. In addition, extra attention has been paid to ease of use. As a result, the spacer will not simply fall between the decking boards.

The best distance to keep depends on the type of wood. We have listed the most common distances for popular wood types:

• 5 mm: Ipé wood, Padouk wood, and thermally modified wood.
• 7 mm: Mukulungu wood, Garapa wood, Bankirai wood and Camaru wood.
• 8 mm: Hardwood with a width of 19 cm or more
• 10 mm: Larch wood, Red Class, impregnated wood, and all other softwood.
