Is anchor screws no longer available?
You are correct, but in this particular case, both screws are from VSB in hardened steel AISI C-1022. What differentiates them is the surface coating, Zincotech Au or Zincotech Ag, both in corrosion class C4.R roli said:There can be more differences between screws. For example, material, hardness/softness, hardened/non-hardened, surface treatment, etc. With this, I want to say that it's difficult to compare screws solely by, for example, diameter. Many of these details are also hard to find for each screw, not everything is disclosed on a box.
Planning to attach my ceiling beams to the supporting beam for the patio roof with these angle brackets. Will they hold firmly with anchor screws, or is it better to choose a longer screw through the angle bracket downwards into the support beam (it is 180 mm high, so there is room for a long screw)?
The ceiling beams are 42 mm thick, so a 40 mm anchor screw will probably be optimal then.
What I want to be sure of is that the wind doesn't catch the roof during a storm and lift it.

Better with several screws than a few long ones

It will hold more than enough. Many are satisfied with just a few nails at an angle.V Villa1949 said:
Offset the angle on the opposite side to avoid screw collision or alternatively reduce the number of screws in the roof beam so they are staggered.
Do you think they'll collide if I place them opposite each other? I'm thinking they'll be different on the different sides of the beam (3 on one side and 2 from the other side opposite) please check the picture to see how the angle iron holes are positioned.Ö öringen said:
No, they probably won't with that variation of hole pattern shown in the picture.V Villa1949 said:
