The Simpson Deck-Drive DHPD Hardwood Deck Screw is a collated #10 x 2-1/2 in. fastener engineered specifically for securing the hardest wood decking materials, including dense hardwood boards and dock or boardwalk applications. Its paddle-style drill point virtually eliminates splitting without predrilling, while cutting wings on the shaft counterbore through dense material so the compact head countersinks cleanly every time. Made from Type 305 stainless steel and packaged in a 1,000-piece collated format compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system, these screws are built to keep large-scale hardwood decking projects moving efficiently.

Key Features

• Paddle-style drill point - penetrates the hardest wood products without predrilling, eliminating a time-consuming prep step and reducing labor on every run of hardwood decking.
• Shaft wings that counterbore hard material - allow the compact head to countersink flush and cleanly into dense hardwood, producing a low-profile, finished appearance without extra work.
• Compact head design - sits low and discreet after installation, keeping the deck surface looking clean and reducing visible hardware on finished hardwood boards.
• #2 square drive - provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during high-volume installation, helping maintain consistent drive depth across the entire deck surface.
• Driver bit included in each package - gets installers started immediately, with the replacement bit model BIT2S available separately for ongoing use.
• Curved collation compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 system - enables auto-feed installation for dramatically faster throughput on large hardwood decking, dock, and boardwalk projects.
• Type 305 stainless steel construction - delivers long-lasting corrosion resistance in demanding outdoor environments where exposure to moisture and the elements would degrade standard fasteners over time.
• 1,000-piece package quantity - supports extended runs of hardwood deck board fastening without frequent restocking interruptions on the job.

Why This Product

• No predrilling required in hardwood - the paddle point is purpose-built to penetrate dense hardwood species cleanly, saving significant time and labor compared to fasteners that require a separate drilling step before driving.
• Clean, professional finish in hard materials - the combination of counterboring wings and a compact head means each screw seats flush without surface damage or raised edges, an important result when appearance matters on exposed hardwood decking and boardwalks.
• Built for high-productivity collated installation - the curved collation format and compatibility with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed system make this screw a natural fit for contractors fastening large quantities of hardwood deck boards efficiently.
• Corrosion resistance matched to outdoor hardwood applications - Type 305 stainless steel construction ensures these screws hold up in the wet, exposed conditions common to decks, docks, and boardwalks where fastener longevity directly affects the life of the structure.
