In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Simpson Strong-Tie No. 8 Square Trim Head Deck Screws deliver a durable, professional-grade fastening solution for outdoor decking projects. Crafted from stainless steel and finished with a protective coating, these screws stand up to weather, moisture, and daily wear while maintaining a clean, flush appearance along the deck surface.

Why this screw stands out

  • Square drive for confident fastening—the square drive design reduces cam-out and provides easy, twist-resistant driving, even in tougher woods or dense boards.
  • Trim head for a neater look—the low-profile trim head sits closer to the surface, helping your deck boards stay flush and your lines crisp and uninterrupted.
  • Outdoor-ready stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and long-term performance in exterior environments.
  • -Coated finish for added protection—a durable coating enhances longevity without compromising driveability or strength.
  • 1,500-count boxed pack with driver bit included—bulk quantity for large projects and all-in-one convenience.
  • Non-collated for precise, hands-on installation—best suited for traditional, straight-down decking layouts where you want full control over each fastener.

Ideal use cases and who benefits most

  • Professional contractors and serious DIYers installing exterior wooden or composite decking boards onto joists where a clean, unobtrusive fastening is key.
  • Projects demanding a flush finish with reduced screw visibility to preserve deck aesthetics—and avoid raised screw heads that can catch shoes or tools.
  • Large decking jobs where stock reliability matters: a 1,500-piece box keeps you on site longer without constant reordering.

Practical tips for best results

  • Use the included driver bit for quick setup and consistent torque.
  • Drive screws straight and stop just shy of fully seating to maintain surface flushness and prevent over-penetration.
  • Pair these No. 8 screws with appropriate deck boards and joists, and consider balanced spacing to minimize wood movement over time.
  • Store the boxed screws in a dry, cool area to preserve the coating and prevent rust accumulation on the head or threads.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
