Anchor screw for pressure treated

[John J]

The choice of anchor screw has come down to Gunnebo Impreg and ESSVE CorrSeal. The cost is about the same, but ESSVE is somewhat cheaper with a discount at Beijer, plus it is easier for me.

May I ask where you live?

May I ask where you live?

Yes, of course you may. I live in Floda outside Gothenburg (between Lerum and Alingsås).

Have a terrace on one house where the railing is screwed with Spax electro-galvanized screws and there's not much left of them after about 12 years... I would use Essve's screws with CorrSeal! I think there's also anchor screws with that treatment... (I'll correct myself, there are!)

Well, I'll be darned! Interesting!:eek: How thick dimension?

 

[P-plats]

Well, that was something! Interesting!:eek: What thickness?

I think it was SPAX TFX FZB 4.5X70 if I remember correctly...
I know he was choosing between these and stainless decking screws BUT thought the stainless ones just bent.

Yes, you may. I live in Floda outside Gothenburg (between Lerum and Alingsås).

right in the forest.

CorrSeal should last nicely there for more years than you'll want to keep it printed.

I have trouble with this. I've screwed galvanized construction fittings on pressure-treated lumber with standard galvanized anchor screws for outdoor use. This lasts 6 months max. The screws are completely corroded. Only the heads remain.

Is stainless steel screws the solution then?
