Value Collection C29306 Deck Screws Size 8 3 in Galvanized 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C29306 deck screws are galvanized steel fasteners sized for exterior wood decking applications. Each screw is a size 8 thread with an overall length of 3 inches, making them well suited for fastening standard 5/4 and 2-inch nominal deck boards to joists. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and exposed environments. This package contains 100 screws, supplying enough fasteners for a typical deck section without overbuying. Carpenters, general contractors, and skilled tradespeople commonly use these fasteners when assembling or repairing wood deck structures.

These deck screws are used in residential and light commercial exterior wood construction, including deck framing, board installation, and structural trim attachment. The size 8 thread profile provides reliable holding power in dimensional lumber and treated wood. A 3-inch length is a standard choice for securing deck boards to wood joists, offering sufficient penetration depth for a secure mechanical connection in most common decking applications.

Installation Notes

These screws are typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, or experienced tradespeople using a corded or cordless drill driver with the appropriate bit. Pre-drilling pilot holes in hardwoods or near board ends is recommended to prevent splitting. Always follow local building codes regarding fastener spacing and penetration depth for deck construction. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when driving fasteners overhead or in confined framing spaces.
