Simpson Bugle-Head Wood Deck Screw, #10 x 2 in., #2 Square Drive, Type 305 Stainless Steel - 2,500-Count is an exterior fastening solution from Simpson engineered for securing all types of wood decking, including cedar, redwood, and preservative-treated woods. The bugle head design countersinks flush with the surface for a clean, professional finish, and Type 305 stainless steel construction delivers high-level corrosion resistance so your outdoor living space holds up against the elements for years to come.

Key Features

• Type-17 point - drives faster starts so you spend less time positioning and more time installing
• Coarse threads on approximately 2/3 of the shank - draw the decking and other material tightly to the framing for a secure, gap-free connection
• Bugle head design - countersinks flush without tearing or raising the wood surface, leaving a clean finish on deck boards
• Type 305 stainless steel material and finish - provides high-level corrosion resistance, making these screws well suited for exterior applications exposed to moisture and weather
• #2 square drive with driver bit included - reduces cam-out during installation and gets you working right out of the package
• Predrilling recommended near board ends - helps prevent splitting, protecting the integrity of cedar, redwood, or treated decking material at vulnerable edge locations
• 2,500 screws per package - provides ample supply to tackle large deck installations or multiple projects without running short

Why This Product

• Built for exterior wood decking from the ground up - specifically designed for fastening cedar, redwood, and preservative-treated wood decking, this screw addresses the real-world demands of outdoor deck construction rather than serving as a general-purpose fastener
• Corrosion resistance you can count on over time - Type 305 stainless steel is the material and finish, offering high-level protection against moisture and the elements in exposed outdoor environments where lesser fasteners fail prematurely
• Engineered details that speed up installation - the Type-17 point starts fast, the coarse thread pattern pulls boards tight to framing efficiently, and the included #2 square driver bit means no extra trip to the tool bag before you start driving
• A volume quantity that matches the scale of real deck projects - with 2,500 screws per package and approximately 96 screws per pound, this bulk supply reduces interruptions on larger jobs and helps keep wood deck fastening work moving efficiently
