Key Features

Corrosion Resistance: Decking screws are typically coated to resist corrosion, which is essential for outdoor use. Common coatings include zinc, stainless steel, and green organic coatings.
Thread Design: They often have a deep, sharp thread that provides strong holding power and reduces the risk of the wood splitting.
Head Design: Many decking screws have a countersunk head with ribs or a bugle shape to ensure a flush finish with the deck surface.
Self-Drilling Tip: Some decking screws come with a self-drilling tip, which eliminates the need for a pilot hole and makes installation faster and easier.
