Simpson Strong-Tie now offers its SDWS Timber screws with a double barrier black exterior coating. The new black Strong-Drive® SDWS Timber screw not only offers strength and durability but also adds a touch of aesthetics to outdoor living spaces, making it an ideal choice for deck framing, fencing, pergolas and more.
Designed for projects that demand a robust fastening solution and high strength wood-to-wood and wood-to-EWP attachments, SDWS Timber screws feature a unique thread design for superior holding power, a 0.220 inch shank diameter that provides strength and a large washer head for maximum bearing area. In addition, the double barrier coating delivers corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanisation, making it suitable for certain exterior and preservative-treated wood applications.
The screws also help ease installation. The knurled shank and patented SawTooth® point ensure fast starts, reduce installation torque and eliminate the need for predrilling in most applications. Additionally, the screws’ underhead nibs allow the head to be driven flush to the surface. The new black coating is available in five lengths – 3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch and 10 inch, with individual and bulk packs available.
