Packs & Contents

Trex color-matched composite deck screws are available in three convenient pack sizes (75 ct., 350 ct., and 1,400 ct.), each including patented HEXSTIX drive bits. This ensures you have everything you need to complete your project efficiently.

Note: These screws are not recommended for use in salt environments or with sleeper systems less than 2” thick.

Step 1: Plan out Fastener Placement

Use two screws per joist or stair stringer to ensure optimal stability for your deck.

Step 2: Drive the Screw

Drive screws at a 90-degree angle to the face of the board to achieve a secure fit with a drill or impact driver. 

Pro Tip

Before installing screws closer than 1” from an end or edge, pre-drill the deck board using a 1/8” drill bit for precision placement.

Step 3: Make it flush

Countersink the screw head until it is flush with the surface of the deck board to achieve a polished aesthetic.
