PLEASE NOTE:

Type 316 stainless steel provides a level of corrosion protection suitable for severe environments, especially environments with chlorides. Bit(s) included with every box of screws.

Pre-drilling and countersink may be necessary at ends, butt joints, and on applications where denser material is used. Follow the board manufacturer's recommendation where applicable. WARNINGS: Always wear PPE during installation. Corrosive environments, exposure to water, salt air, or chemicals (including some wood preservatives) may cause early failure.
