Outdoor screws

Outdoor screws are used across a wide range of external construction work, from timber framing and fencing to decking, cladding, and landscaping. Designed to withstand exposure to moisture and temperature changes, they’re made from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or coated carbon steel. These fixings are essential where long-term durability is needed in outdoor conditions, especially when fastening into treated timber or composite materials.

Compared to general-purpose or indoor screws, exterior screws feature deeper threads and sharper points for improved hold in timber and composite substrates. Options include exterior wood screws with countersunk heads for flush finishes, and hex-head external screws for structural applications. You’ll also find variants with self-drilling tips or reinforced shanks for use in hardwoods and dense materials.
