Decking screws and fixings

Hardwood such as Ipe needs the right fixings. We use black coated stainless steel clips and screws, so nothing rusts and nothing shows on the surface.

What you need to fix hardwood decking

  • Clips: they slot into the groove along the side of each board and hold it to the joist, with an 8 mm gap between boards. See decking boards with fixing clips.
  • Screws: black coated stainless steel, see screws.
  • Drill bits: Ipe is too dense to screw into without pre-drilling. See wood drill bits.

Why stainless steel?

Hardwood lasts 25+ years outdoors, so the fixings have to keep up. Ordinary screws rust and leave stains. Black coated stainless steel stays clean and disappears into the gap between the boards.
