Timber decking guide - Fixings

Because wood used out doors is exposed to the weather, metal fixings such as nails, screws, bolts and connectors need to be highly resistant to corrosion. If the wrong type of metal fixings are used then this can result in corrosion. The consequences of corrosion are unsightly rust stains on exposed components and the possibility that key fixings may fail prematurely leaving the structure unsafe to use.

Detailed guidance on metal fixings and their use are given in our Technical Bulletin TB08 - to download a free copy click here.
