Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware is essential for timber construction?
Essential hardware includes nails, screws, framing brackets, joist hangers, bolts and post supports. These are used to connect, brace and secure timber elements in a structure. Depending on the job, you may also need corrosion-resistant fasteners (especially for outdoor or coastal builds), as well as timber-compatible adhesives or sealants. Choosing the right type of hardware helps ensure safety, compliance and durability.
Can I use regular screws for decking?
It’s best to use decking-specific screws or stainless-steel screws for any decking job. Standard screws can corrode over time or cause splitting in timber. Decking screws are designed with thread patterns and coatings that reduce splitting and offer long-term holding power—even with dense hardwoods. Stainless steel is especially recommended in coastal areas where rust can become a problem.
What’s the difference between galvanised and stainless-steel hardware?
Galvanised hardware is steel coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from rust and corrosion. It’s commonly used in general construction and is cost-effective for most environments. Stainless-steel hardware, on the other hand, resists corrosion through its entire structure—not just a surface coating—making it better suited for coastal or high-moisture areas. While more expensive, stainless steel lasts longer and offers superior protection.
Do hardware accessories need to meet Australian Standards?
Yes. Structural and load-bearing hardware used in construction should meet Australian Standards to ensure safety and compliance. For example, framing anchors, tie-downs and brackets must meet specified performance ratings. Always check for product certification or ask your supplier if unsure—using non-compliant accessories can lead to safety risks and project delays.
