Self-tapping screws for fences

Self-tapping screws for fences are professional fasteners for building fences from metal profile sheeting and wood. The heads of metal products are usually painted to match the fence color so the fasteners are not visible against it. The head shape is hex, round, cylinder or cone-shaped.

Why fences require special self-tapping screws

Self-tapping screws for fences differ from similar products in that they:

• have increased resistance to external factors: wind and precipitation will not disrupt the fastening, it will not loosen or fall out of the socket;
• are not subject to corrosion from moisture or chemical agents;
• are able to withstand the weight of profile sheets and metal fence sections.

Self-tapping screws with a rubber washer provide additional waterproofing.

Installation features

Self-tapping screws for fences are used not only for building fences but also for roof installation. For wooden structures, at least 2 fasteners are required at the top and bottom. When installing a fence made of metal profile sheeting, standard practice is to drive in 1 screw at the top and bottom, or in the middle — every two “waves” of the sheet. The fasteners are screwed in from the outside of the structure, not from the inside, into wooden or metal purlins. After fastening, the corner sections of the structure should be treated with anti-corrosion compounds.
