Grip-Rite® DeckForce® Exterior Composite Screws are the optimum choice for composite and PVC decking projects. Protected from corrosion and rust by our innovative PrimeGuard® Nano weather-resistant coating. These screws come in a variety of colors to blend seamlessly into your outdoor decking projects.
Our DeckForce® Exterior Composite Screws incorporate a T-20 star drive for a secure connection between tool tip and fastener. Clear out threads remove material during driving and the T 17 quick bite saw tip combine for fast and efficient installation. Hi-lo threads resist thread stripping and pull out by requiring lower torque during driving. Undercut head ensures a smooth, seamless finish in PVC and composite decking materials.
Grip-Rite® DeckForce® Exterior Composite Screws with PrimeGuard® Nano are protected by our lifetime warranty when installed correctly.
PrimeGuard® Nano coating combats rust and corrosion and meets 1000 hours minimum on ASTM B-117
Undercut head countersinks easily and leaves a smooth flush finish with no surface bulge
T-20 Star Drive for maximum torque while reducing the chance of cam-out
T 17 quick bite saw tip self-drilling point and hi-lo threads make installation smooth and provide a strong, long-lasting hold
Ideally suited for use with composite and PVC decking
Backed by a DeckForce® limited lifetime warranty

A challenge that many face when using composite materials is that they often tend to pop up when you put screws in place, leaving the deck uneven.
DeckForce® composite deck fasteners specifically use an undercut head and high-low thread to counteract this uneven effect. The concave surface under the head and the lower driving torque and resistance to thread stripping work well together to ensure the deck remains smooth and flat.
This thread type is excellent for use in plastic, which makes them great screws for PVC boards as well as composite boards.
