    Default What screws for screwing down decking

    I'm wanting to screw down some spotted gum decking to my boat, and, having just read the thread about screwing aluminium onto a boat, wonder whether I should also be using a particular type of metal screw. It's going to be used in saltwater.

    if your deckbeams are timber too then stainless steel or bronze. If it is to last a long time the stainless should be 316 grade.
