Re-doing my deck. Same 1x6 boards as before (I've had them in my shop, stickered and drying for months). Camo edge screws come 17/8" and 2 3/8". Which screw do you recommend?

Their website says - 1-7/8 in. (47.6mm) screws for boards 3/4–1 in. (19–25.4mm) thick and 2-3/8 in. (60.3mm) screws for boards 1–1-½ in. (25.4–38.1mm) thick.

Screws are easy to install and very secure. However, I have not had so much luck removing them when trying to remove rotten boards for replacement. Something to think about.

Wouldn’t use them. Not for pine boards. We did it. Pine was dried out. It still cupped and had to rip it all out. Works fine with trex but I wouldn’t use it with wood. And when you are taking boards out the screws are a huge pain in the arse to deal with.

I hate those things. A solution looking for a problem. Use star drive deck screws
