Hexagon Head Index Screw

Product Description

Heavy Duty Timber Fixings for Structural and Landscaping Use

Hexagon Head Index Screws are robust timber screws designed as a superior alternative to traditional coach bolts. Engineered for use in landscaping, decking, fencing, railway sleeper installations and structural timber applications, they offer exceptional performance and longevity. The screws feature an 8mm hex head with an integrated washer to enhance clamping strength and reduce the risk of cam-out during installation.

Each screw is equipped with a 50-degree deep single thread that delivers a fast, reliable fix with high pull-out resistance. A 25-degree sharp point ensures smooth penetration into timber without the need for pre-drilling, while the type 17 slash helps minimise torque and reduce timber splitting. The organic olive green coating not only enhances visual appeal but also offers 1000 hours of salt spray resistance for long-lasting durability in outdoor environments.

Tested to BS5268/2:2002 and approved for structural applications, these index screws are a go-to solution for professionals working on decking platforms, fencing posts, stairs, sheds, and general timber construction. For corrosive environments or timber types like green oak, stainless steel alternatives should be used.
