Fasteners for Treated Wood
Fasteners for Treated Wood
(OP)
I understand that the treated wood in our area is treated now with either (Alkaline Copper Quat) ACQ-C and ACQ-D, or(Copper Azole)CBA-A and CA-B. What type of nails, screws and bolts should we be using?

The February 9, 2004 ENR magazine has an article on page 17, "Industry Sounds Warnings Over Corrosive Effect on Steel".

It is very important to prevent standing water. There are a number of fastner systems that don't go through the deck boards, but grip from the sides. These should have an advantage.

Corrosion, every where, all the time.
Manage it or it will manage you.
