Product Description
Forgefast Construction Screws Wafer Head 8 x 320mm T40 Pack of 20
The use of Railway Sleepers and Sleeper Retainers has become a very popular way of creating retaining walls. They have a rugged, industrial look but are strong and hard-wearing too. To ensure the functionality and longevity of this type of wall, using a construction screw can offer many advantages.
Construction Screws are designed to connect materials very securely and are particularly useful when working with timber. In the context of Railway Sleepers, this type of screw can firmly hold the sleepers together which helps to prevent movement and shifting over time. This is important, particularly for retaining walls which need to withstand the pressure of soil and water behind them.
Unlike traditional fastening methods such as nails and brackets, construction screws are quite easy to install, often available as a self-drilling feature so you don't need to pre-drill your holes which saves time and effort.
Features
This pack of Forgefast high performance, long length screws contains 20 single screws each measuring 8.0 x 320mm, they are TORX® compatible (six-pointed star-shaped screw head) and are tan coloured. Each has a unique single threaded, spiral shank.
These are elite performance self-drilling and low-torque screws which do not need to be pre-drilled. These are for exterior use and are suitable for softwood and hardwood. Each flexes to 35° which reduces the likelihood of the screw shearing the timber. Each screw has a hardened case and core which gives exceptional strength. Each structural screw has Elementech 2000 surface treatment which provides corrosion resistance which is a very useful property when they are used for exterior projects.
If using with First Fence's Railway Sleepers which have a width of 200mm, you need a screw that is 50% more than this measurement so at least a 300mm screw. This screw will drill through one sleeper and then approximately 12cm into the next sleeper which should give a robust fixing. You may need a minimum of 2 screws per sleeper.
First Fence has a range of products available for this type of project, including Railway Sleepers, Sleeper Retainers and Creosolve. Also available is a 7.0 x 150mm Timber Screw.
