Best fasteners for 1x6 Garapa

15 years ago

In a previous post I mentioned I decided to go with 1x6 Garapa. I am working with East Teak to finalize my order.

What would the best fastener be? George at East Teak has Headcote #7 2.25" 350 per bx (100 sft) at 49.50 per bx. Does that make sense? I have read other posts that recommend #8. Something about #1 square bit will strip more easily. Any experience with these #7 screws?

I will not be plugging. Also, which color is best with Garapa? I am thinking Tan.

Thanks again for all the great advice here.

Mike
