WOOD CONSTRUCTION
With engineered design values for all sizes they can also be
used for fastening glulam and solid timber members in cabin,
shed and stable construction where performance is important.
Imagine the speed of using a screw without pre-drilling as
opposed to a bolt? Knowing that the screw has loads that allow it
to replace bolts is a great benefit when fastener structural timber
members of all types and sizes. The SDWS screw is a great alter-
native for timber fence pole connections and the connection of
timber frame panels with a double barrier coating to ensure that
it has better corrosion properties than some galvanised fasteners.
The features on the screw allow for quick installation, saving
time and money while achieving high clamping force with tested
engineering loads so they can be used with confidence. We also
include clear head markings so that the screws are identifiable
after installation.
Improve the quality and durability of your work whilst
reducing time and money spent on the job with the Simpson
Strong-Tie® Quik Drive® and structural screw fastening solutions.
