What type of wood should you use for your project ?
In any case, we would recommend pre-drilling prior to fixing your boards to the joist, as outlined in the French construction industry standards.
ROCKET A2 stainless steel wood and chipboard screws – a high-tech solution for your outdoor projects
Outdoor wooden structures such as patios, cladding and fences require the use of treated or tropical wood in order to cope with bad weather or other vagaries.
You also have to pay particular attention when putting these sorts of structures together. At ROCKET we have developed a range of stainless steel screws, available in pozidriv and star head, which retain their levels of performance and design when used outdoors.
ROCKET patio screws are ideal for patios made from hard or tropical wood.
They are double threaded, which ensures the boards will stay in place on the joists. As a result of the high-quality materials they are made from, they are among the best non-split screws on the market.
Pre-drilling required for hard wood, must comply with DTU 51.4 (French construction industry standards)
