Various Types of Wood Deck Hardware

When building a home, particular types of material are used based on the homeowner's preference, home location, geographical conditions or other reasons. The same is true for building wood decks, as specific hardware will be used in accordance to the homeowner's choice and deck requirements.

Most of the hardware required for building wooden decks include the following:

* Rubber bushings

* Washers

* Nuts and bolts

* Composite wood deck screws

* Deck fastening materials

* Versatile hinges with 4-point stops

* Glider bracket hardware

* Bracket kits

* Deck screws and stainless steel screws

* 2-way nickel plated face frame hinges that can be fully concealed

* Brass knobs, Victorian knobs, wooden knobs, etc.

* Wood deck fasteners and hardware for use with treated wood, with a minimum Hot-Dip Galvanized requirement that conform to ASTM Standards.

* Additional products suitable for use with ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) pressure-treated wood, aside from stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized.

* Fasteners, hardware and other metal products in contact with treated wood will perform similar to untreated wood when ACQ pressure-treated wood is used for interior applications with continuous dry conditions, and where the wood will have below 19% equilibrium moisture content.

* Hot-dipped galvanized steel, stainless steel, silicon bronze or copper fasteners for use with pressure-preservative treated wood, except one-half inch (12.7mm) diameter or greater steel bolts.
