Answer This Question

Hi there- thank you for contacting US. The Deck Elite Wood Deck Screw is designed primarily for use in wood deck boards. While it may be possible to use these screws on composite decking, we recommend using the RT Composite™ Exterior Trim Screw is designed specifically for attaching composite materials, making it suitable for use on composite decking. Its features include reverse threading to prevent mushrooming and a clean finish, which is ideal for such applications. Please feel free to call us at (800)222-6990 or email us at grk@itwbrands.com, if you have any questions.

        I need to know what type of torx screw I need to build a 10-gallon aquarium stand. I will use maple wood in 2"x 4" and 2" x 2" respectively. It needs the strength to hold at least 120 lbs. of a tank, decorations, equipment, fish, and water.

          Are these screws suitable for 5/4x6 cedar decking on raised garden beds
          ByJun 8, 2024
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Thank you for reaching out to us. The Deck Elite screws are Climatek coated, and stainless is recommended for cedar due to the high acid content. There are stainless offerings in that same bugle head style. Please feel free to call us at (800) 222-6990 or email us at grk@itwbrands.com and we can assist in finding a fastener for you.

            How many square feet per box? please
            ByMar 23, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Thank you for contacting us. A general rule of thumb is 350 screws per 100 square feet if using deck boards 6 inches wide with joists spaced 16 inches apart. With deck boards 4 inches wide, expect to use 480 screws for the same joist spacing. There are also many deck fastener calculators found online.

                I am installing 5/4 pressure treated boards. Do I need to predrill holes? And if so, what size bit?
                ByJun 28, 2023
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Hi, I'm Andrew from GRK. Deck Elite screws provide many benefits including eliminating the need for predrilling while fastening pressure treated 5/4" boards. Please be aware of the screw length to allow proper embedment into the deck joists.

                  Great product! These are my favorite screws for doing everyday little things around the house. They always grip, the head never strips and I love how they give you a longer bit instead of the small one that some other brands use. I strongly recommend these screws.

                  Strong and reliable screws. I used these to build this shelf and they held everything tight and secure. No stripping, easy to drive in, and the Torx head gives great grip. The shelf feels very sturdy. I’d definitely buy these again for any wood project.

                  These screws break easily
                  I used #8 x 2” on my deck. Brand new pressure treated wood, brand new screws, and now the boards are cupping after two years.About 2/3 of the screws across the entire deck are broken in half. I am having to replace each screw one by one. I do not recommend this product.

                    Weak screws broke
                    Used on pressure treated deck boards. After a couple months I noticed boards warping up on the deck. I removed the screws and found many where broken. Pure junk, will never buy this brand again.

                      Bad batch of screws
                      To be fair I have used theses many times over the years but this batch was pure junk. I used them to screw deck boards down and by this fall I noticed board’s lifting, when I went to tighten the screws back down I found the screws had broken. In 40+ years of deck building I have never seen this happen. I have used many thousands of GRK screws and never seen them break but this whole pack must have been bad. I’m going to be doing a lot of rework replacing screws as they break.

                        Since install I have been replacing broken screws
                        Worse screws. I bought enough of these to do a 500 sq ft becoming 2022. Since then I have been replacing screws with what I have left don’t them breaking and boards coming loose. Would not recommend. I will end up pulling all and finding a different product with nothing from company as they have got their money.

                          Great screws
                          I bought three boxes of these screws to screw down decking on a deck in North Carolina using Southern yellow pine. In the entire batch, I only had one bad screw. These screws did not split one plank, and they held the decking tight to the beams underneath. These screws May cost a little more, but they are definitely worth it.
