Trapease Composite Wood Deck Screws
Contractor Quality Fasteners

TrapEase Composite Deck Screws are specially designed for use in Trex® and WeatherBest and other composite decking products. Available from Tarheel Wood Treating.

TrapEase Quality Features

  • Eliminates the mushrooming effect caused by standard deck screws.
  • Oversized top thread tops out most loose composite material during installation.
  • Concave underside of the head traps any additional loose material, pushing it back into the hole while self-countersinking.
  • Guaranteed corrosive resistant coating outperforms standard galvanized in salt air, salt spray and acid rain environments.
  • Sharp piercing point cuts through composite material in the first rotation.
  • Combines state-of-the-art zinc and epoxy-based coatings.
  • Guaranteed not to rust or streak in composite decking for the life of the project when fastener is installed correctly.
  • Can be installed with a standard screwgun (0-1800 RPM corded or 18V cordless).

Fastening Practices

  • Install 2 screws at every joist.
  • Pre-drilling pilot holes when fastening the ends of boards can help to avoid splitting (within 1 1/2" of board end).
  • Install screws no closer than 3/4" from edge of board.
  • On harder composites, such as WeatherBest, pre-drilling may help achieve a more finished look.

Color Match Note:
It is important to refer to the composite lumber manufacturer's technical data to understand what color their lumber will fade to. Choose a fastener to match this faded color.
