The Strong-Drive® SDWS screw is a high-strength structural wood screw for outdoor use (double barrier coating) specifically designed for fastening multi-ply wood members together.
SDW screws install best with a low-speed drill and a T40 6-lobe bit (bit included with every box of screws)
Pre-drilling is typically not required
Drive the fastener so that the top of the head is slightly embedded into the top surface of the timber. To ensure correct performance, do not under or over-drive the fastener
Individual screw locations may be adjusted up to 75mm to avoid conflicts with other hardware or to avoid timber defects
