A new deck can improve home value and enhance the overall aesthetic of your home by adding an enjoyable outdoor living space — providing a lively entertaining and lounging space for friends and family for most of the year. While decks can offer years of entertainment, with shoddy workmanship and inferior materials, decks can often begin showing signs of wear and damage prematurely, becoming an eyesore and a potential safety risk for those regularly using it. While building and maintaining deck structures, the best method for ensuring lasting outdoor recreation is by using the best quality wood decking screws.
At FMW Fasteners, we stock a wide variety of square drive decking screws to accommodate your deck construction or maintenance needs, whether you’re doing a small decking job or a large one. Our wood screws for decking are available in several sizes, styles and materials. We’re happy to sell you one carton or 50 or more, or any amount in between. The more you order, the more you save.

Square Drive Decking Screws for Sale for Any Building Project
We have several types of decking screws to offer you at FMW Fasteners. You’ll find square bugle-head decking screws that are yellow zinc-plated, dacrotized or T17 W.A.R. coated. Screws with a dacrotized coating are both heat, rust and salt resistant, while the specially formulated T17 W.A.R coating is a high-grade surface technology that prevents corrosion, even against strong chemicals. We also have Square Truss-Head wood screws in 305 stainless steel, Simpson square trim-head wood decking screws in 305 stainless steel and Simpson bugle-head or Square trim-head wood decking screws in 305 or 316 stainless steel. If you are employing your square head decking screws in a seaside location or where elements are a more serious issue, you may prefer the 316 type for superior corrosion resistance.
In addition to bugle-head decking screws, square drive decking screws may be truss-head or trim-head. The square drive helps eliminate stripping, which can be a problem when applying pressure to the screw with other types of drives. The type-17 point allows you to start fast and get the screw into the wood cleanly and easily, with coarse threads about 2/3 of the way up the shank to draw the decking into a tight seal with the substrate.
FMW Fasteners’ square drive decking screws are versatile enough that you can use them for all types of wood decking, including preservative-treated woods. You will usually need about 350 to fasten 100 square feet of decking, assuming 6-inch, nominal-width boards installed on 16-inch joists.
Different Screw Head Types Available
To ensure your deck is sturdy and reliable for years to come, you need to select quality decking screws for lasting sturdiness, dependability and attractive finishes. But while perusing the selection of wood screws for decking available, you’ll come across a variety of materials and head styles you can use for your project — so which one is best for your needs?
At FMW Fasteners, we offer decking screws in a variety of finishes for improved corrosion and wear resistance, as well as several screw head types:
- Bugle Head Screws: This screw has a countersunk head with a flat top for better weight distribution. Users can easily install this screw without the need for drilling a pilot hole. Bugle head screws are appealing because their design depresses the surface of the wood or composite materials without causing breakage.
- Truss Head Screws: A truss head screw closely resembles the appearance of pan head screws, but have an extra wide top with a slightly rounded surface. The shape of the head and low profile offer better, stronger fastening support without obstructing the surface of the materials.
- Square Trim Head Screws: At first glance, a trim head screw looks like a typical flat head screw — however, the surface of the head around the recess is smaller, making the screw more discreet once installed.
