Spax Antique Decking Screw

SPAX antique decking screws in stainless steel are engineered and manufactured in Germany for use on timber decks. Their brownish colour is a result of thermal processing and provides a nice
decorative finish. They are exclusive to PlaceMakers and available at stores nationwide.

Pre-drilling is highly recommended to achieve a professional finish and reduce stress cracks around the screw, ultimately saving time, money and maintenance in the long term.

NOTE: When used with Garapa timber, the timber must be sealed on all sides before laying to prevent any staining.
