StarBorn Screws & Fasteners
Starborn screws & fasteners are the ones that go into the structure rather than the surface. Ledger connections, multipurpose framing, and anywhere the fastener is carrying load rather than holding a board flat.
Coating matters more than length here. Pressure treated lumber is corrosive to plain steel, so structural screws for a deck frame need an ACQ-approved exterior coating or stainless. A coated carbon screw rated for ACQ is fine inland. Within reach of salt air, step up to stainless.
Get the ledger right and the rest of the deck follows. Call (815) 439-3325 if you are matching a fastener to a ledger detail or a beam depth.
