Question

What type of s***w should i use to fasten white plastic lattice to the bottum of my deck?

Answer 1

You need a fastener that has a large surface area so the plastic will not break.

One way is to sue fender washers on each s***w.  They are large washers.  However, they will rust.

Another way would be to put a piece of wood lath over the lattice and s***w through it into the deck.

This is a good question to ask at the home improvement store.  They may have something made just for this application.

Answer 2

Just use some small deck screws. They are coted so the won't rust , and you can sink them, and putty over them if you care to. You can pick them up at any home improvement store.

Answer 3

i would use a big headed self tapping phillips head w/pwr.drill

Answer 4

The store where you purchase the lattice should have white screws with a Phillips or hex head s***w. If the panel is 1/4 inch use at least 3/4 inch s***w. They work well and will be less noticeable.

Answer 5

a deck s***w will work just pre drill the lattice and make a slotted hole for the lattice to expand and contract with changing temperatures or it will break I made the mistake of just driving the screws right into my lattice and it broke so now it needs redone cause it looks like c**p
