Screws and Fasteners for Furniture-Making

Flat head screws are usually recommended for general furniture building. The flat heads may be seated flush or countersunk and plugged for a more decorative look. Our flat head screws have been heat-treated for exceptional strength and are available in different plating options.

Outdoor furniture construction requires a fastener with exceptional corrosion resistance, that's why epoxy-coated or stainless steel screws are generally used.

Building picnic tables and other furniture intended for outdoor use requires fasteners intended for the outdoors as well!

For general exterior projects, 305-grade stainless steel is usually recommended. 305 passivated stainless steel screws provide corrosion-resistance and prevent staining in premium materials like Redwood.

Marine or seaside environments require more corrosion-resistance than 305 can provide. In those cases, 316-grade stainless steel is recommended.

RTA or "Ready to Assemble" creates strong joints even in end grain because the fastener threads into a barrel nut rather than the material, this also makes the joint virtually impossible to assemble incorrectly!

Pocket hole joinery is a popular method of joint assembly. Joints are as strong as a mortise and tenon but can be made in a fraction of the time.
