What are the best outdoor screws. Stainless steel i presume? It’s for wood. Going to try fix a pergola that a few pieces have rotted. Think i will stain it once done.

Yellow Zinc coated screws offer good anti corrosion for outdoor use. Failing that have you considered a good old fashioned nailing? |

I’d go for galvanised price wise, pretty strong and weather proof. Just not quite as strong and weatherproof as stainless. But for what you’re doing I think galvanised are the best option.

This or I would go for decking screws Suppose it depends on timber thickness, decking screws are fine for anything under about 50mm |

Great performance last night Bill. |

I would have to imagine, no matter how well done, a hard nailing could be rough by the end. Perhaps a long screw, slowly, would be just the job. |

Make sure you choose correct otherwise you might end up with a saw hand trying get the hole big enough.

Remember, don't just blindly put the screw in without a little forethought. Make sure to pre-drill the hole and then run the screw threads over some wax to help the screw go in easier, especially helpful if the screw is a bit lengthy.

This or I would go for decking screws "I walked into B&Q the other day and this bloke in an orange and black uniform asked me if I wanted decking. Fortunately, I got the first punch in and that was that. But others may not be as lucky so be on your guard." A viz classic |
