The Strong-Drive® SDWS Timber SS Screw is a 7mm-diameter, Type 316 stainless steel, heavy-duty structural fastener suitable for marine and coastal applications where severe-corrosion resistance is a necessity. The SDWS Timber SS screw has a SawTooth point and flat washer head that make it the ideal choice for use in applications such as docks, wharfs, piers, boardwalks and ledgers where strength and severe-corrosion resistance are critical.

Designed to provide an easy-to-install, low-torque driving, high-strength, severe-corrosion resistant alternatives to through bolting, traditional lags, spikes and coach screws. The Strong-Drive SDWS Timber SS screw is a premium solution for heavy-duty structural applications. Type 316 stainless steel provides severe-corrosion resistance, making it suitable for exterior and preservative-treated timber applications.

  1. Fastener length is measured from the underside of the head to the point.
  2. Length of thread includes the point.
  3. Bending yield moment calculated from characteristic tensile strength and based on minor thread diameter.
  4. Tension and shear properties are based on 0.5 of the average load for screws tested in tension and shear, respectively. Shear strength is shear through the threads.

These fasteners possess a level of corrosion resistance that makes them suitable for use in some exterior and corrosive environments and with some preservative-treated timber.
For applications in higher-exposure applications, consider Type-300 series stainless-steel fasteners for superior corrosion resistance. 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 board manufacturers recommendations where applicable.
