Well, lots of posts about stainless, aluminum, zinc and other metal screws. What about deck screws? The green ones made for treated lumber - touted as lasting forever for treated decks, etc. (I used them 9 years ago on my deck and they are still good to go and none have heaved up, unscrewed, rusted, etc.) And, the deck is out in the weather year-round, rain & snow - on the bunk boards, they'll not see near the amount of moisture.
I'm gonna screw down my new HDPE (cutting board) slats onto the carpeted bunk boards. Gonna counter-sing the heads and screw them down right onto the carpet into the treated 2X4's. Any reason you can think of that I couldn't use deck screws?? Heads are counter-sunk and won't touch the bottom of the aluminum boat. As long as I watch to make sure none of then come loose (raise up above the counter-sink - which I'll have to do no matter what type of screws I use), I don't see any problem?
Do any of you???
Thanks.
