Frequently Asked Questions

Can Spax decking screws be used with pressure-treated timber?

Yes, Spax decking screws with Wirox or stainless steel finishes are specifically formulated to resist the corrosive chemicals found in pressure-treated timber, making them ideal for all outdoor decking applications.

Do I need to pre-drill when using Spax decking screws?

Thanks to the 4CUT point technology, pre-drilling is typically unnecessary with Spax decking screws, even near board edges. However, pre-drilling may be advisable when working with particularly dense hardwoods or very close to edges.

What size Spax decking screws should I use?

For standard 28mm decking boards, 50mm or 60mm screws are ideal. Thicker boards may require 65mm or 75mm lengths. Always ensure screws penetrate at least 30mm into the supporting joists for secure fixing.
