Build stronger, longer-lasting decks with GRK Deck Elite screws. Engineered with a Fast Bite Tip for immediate start, W-Cut threads for low-torque driving, and a Zip Tip that eliminates the need for pre-drilling. The recessed star drive head with 6 points of contact delivers zero-strip performance, and the Climatek coating carries a 25-year warranty against corrosion in ACQ-treated lumber.

• #9 x 2-1/2" - 110 screws per box

• W-Cut thread design reduces driving torque, prevents wood splitting
• Climatek corrosion-resistant coating, rated for ACQ pressure-treated lumber (25-year warranty)
• Recessed star drive (T-25) with 6 points of contact - zero stripping, low cam-out
• For deckboards, fencing, deck rails, and exterior framing
• For use in wood, cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated lumber

Best For: Standard 5/4 deckboard face-mount through a 2x joist - the most-used Deck Elite size. Roughly 1" of board plus 1-1/2" of joist penetration, the textbook deck-screw bite.

Use Tip: Drive perpendicular to the surface and let the screw self-countersink flush; over-driving past flush can crush softwood fibers and weaken the joint. For visible decking, set a depth-stop on the driver to keep heads consistent across the board run.
