    METAL SCREWS

    Your guide to the right screw for the job

    If you're fastening into metal then make sure you avoid using regular wood screws and choose a screw specifically designed for metal instead. The point at the tip of a metal screw is designed to drill through steel and most other metals without pre-driling the material first. Metal screws have a blunt-looking drill point in comparison to a wood screw's sharp point. You will also see that the screw threads are closer together.

    Check out our guide below to find the right landscaping screw for your job:

    Screws specifically designed for working with metal roofing and plated to avoid corrosion.

    Ideal for fastening thicker materials such as timber into metal, the wings on this screw create a wider hold which means the screw threads do not engage too early.

    Hex Head metal screws are designed for fastening into metal. The addition of the neoprene seal creates a soft surface to help prevent wear while also providing a tighter seal and reinforcing the joint.

    Hex Head timber screws with no new washer are designed for fastening timber into metal where not waterproofing seal is required.

    Named as it looks like an upside-down frying pan, a pan head screw has a slightly domed top and flat bottom. Versatile with visual appeal used primarily for metal-to-metal applications.

    Good for use in confined spaces and offering a smooth, discreet, finished appearance.

    Wafer heads have an extra wide surface for load bearing and a lower profile than a pan or button head screw. They can de designed as a self-drilling screw with a drill bit point that drives into the metal.

    When you want a decorative finish and broad holding power for use with heavier materials a contour head screw is a solid choice. The screw head is rounded but the underside is flat, ideal for fixing sheet metal.

    Countersunk or flathead screws have no profile so they sink into the surface of the material they are drilled into and sit flat. The flush surface gives a streamlined look and prevents the screw from catching.
