What do you think about this as an alternative to a French wood screw? Called "Träskruv Right XL 6-kant FZV". Planning to fasten 90 cm high 70x70 posts in ground anchors/post spikes that support an 80 cm high fence with sparsely placed planks. Do you think 8x60, one from each side, would be sufficient?
Hexagonal-head screw with a coarse thread, labeled "Wood Screw Right XL Hex FZV," suggested for securing 70x70 posts in ground anchors for a low fence.

Ok, I will have to look for these, that dimension is not available in my local hardware store.

Check with Swedol for example ...

I find them on several online stores so it will end up being something like that. Thanks for the help.

Buy a number of T40 bits because they wear out...

TX40 you wrote in another thread. What is the difference? Do both work?

They are both Torx 40.

Bumping this thread a bit.

I'm going to build a fence that's about 2m high and I will set the footing blocks "incorrectly," meaning in a way that the screws take all the lateral force if it gets windy, see attached image.
I'm thinking of buying Essve waf, Bauhaus has 8*50, that should do well, right? Using four of those through each beam.
The fence will be about 12m long, with one side attached to a wall and the other end at 90° against a lower fence.

Or, as I just thought of, should I set the footing block the "correct" way so it absorbs the force, then notch the plank so I can still screw one at the bottom?

How did you handle the screws and the direction of the posts, and did it become stable?
