Our Type 17 Stainless Steel Screws are fully made from pure A2 or A4 stainless steel, delivering excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor, coastal, or chemically exposed environments. These screws are specially designed with a Type 17 point—a sharp, notched cutting tip that reduces splitting and allows smooth, efficient penetration into wood without the need for pre-drilling.
The Type 17 point geometry is ideal for use in hardwood, softwood, pressure-treated lumber, and composite decking materials. Combined with deep, wide threads for strong pullout resistance, these screws offer reliable performance in structural wood applications such as fencing, decking, framing, or timber connections.
Since they are made from non-hardened austenitic stainless steel, they are not suitable for drilling into metal or concrete. However, they excel in environments where moisture and durability are critical and where wood is the primary material. Available in a variety of head styles and finishes, our Type 17 stainless steel screws are the trusted solution for long-lasting, rust-resistant fastening in wood-based projects.
