Outdoor Screws

Outdoor screws are special screws that are made to last in all types of weather. They are designed to handle rain, sun and changing temperatures without rusting or becoming weak as normal screws might do. Our screws come in many sizes that range from short 25mm options for thin wood to longer 70mm versions for larger construction jobs. They are specially treated with an olive green coating which has two main benefits because it stops the screws from rusting and it also helps them to blend in with wooden structures such as decks and fences.

The heads of outdoor screws are designed for different uses. Some sit flat against the wood (called countersunk), which is ideal for decking where you want a smooth surface to walk on. Others have wider, washer-like heads that work better for fencing because they spread the load and enhance the grip. Modern outdoor screws also have clever features to make them work better. Many have sharp points that can create their own holes, saving you time and reducing the chance of splitting the wood. The threads (the spiral part) are often designed so the screws won't work loose over time which is a common problem with outdoor furniture and structures that endure temperature changes.

The way these screws grip your screwdriver has improved too. Many now use star-shaped holes (called Torx) instead of traditional slot or Phillips shapes. This means your screwdriver is less likely to slip when you're working, especially with power tools. We also stock a wide range of screws that are suitable for indoor building work.

Our range of screws are ideal for all sorts of outdoor projects. They hold decking boards firmly in place, keep fence panels secure and they help build sturdy sheds and garden furniture. Their special coatings and designs mean they'll keep doing their job for years, handling good weather and bad.
