What type of fasteners and nails are recommended with Latitudes Decking and Railing?
Major fastener manufacturers produce screws made specifically for composite decking. Use of these screws will reduce the amount of pre-drilling and countersinking required. For ease of installation, we recommend using 2-1/2″ corrosion-resistant, composite wood deck screws. These screws help minimize the common “mushroom” effect that sometimes occurs when using standard fasteners. For more information, refer to the installation instructions.
