Cape Coral & Fort MyersEngineered Fastener Technology
Six innovations that make Big Timber the professional's choice for construction fasteners — engineered for strength, corrosion resistance, and Florida coastal conditions.
Corrosion-Resistant Coatings
Advanced zinc and polymer coatings engineered to withstand harsh coastal environments, salt air exposure, and high-humidity conditions common in Southwest Florida construction.
Self-Countersinking Heads
Precision-milled heads with integrated cutting nibs that sink flush without pre-drilling, eliminating mushrooming and delivering a clean, professional finish every time.
Star Drive System
Six-lobe star drive recess provides maximum bit engagement and virtually eliminates cam-out, even under the high torque demands of structural and hardwood applications.
Structural Load Ratings
Engineered and tested to meet or exceed code-required load values for structural connections, replacing traditional lag bolts in many framing and ledger board applications.
Type 17 Auger Point
Sharp auger-style tips start fast without walking, reduce splitting in dense lumber, and lower drive torque by removing wood fibers ahead of the thread.
ISO 9002 Manufacturing
Every Big Timber fastener is manufactured to specification in ISO 9002 quality-certified facilities, ensuring consistent performance from the first screw to the last in every box.

How to Choose the Right Construction Fastener
Material Compatibility
Pressure-Treated Lumber: Use ACQ-compatible coated fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion. Big Timber's coatings are rated for treated lumber contact.
Hardwoods: Self-countersinking heads and auger points reduce splitting in dense species like ipe, mahogany, and oak.
Composite & PVC: Trim-head screws with controlled thread pitch prevent material mushrooming and over-driving.
Application Selection
Structural Framing: Use structural screws with engineered load ratings for ledger boards, rim joists, and beam connections.
Decking & Exterior: Wood screws with corrosion-resistant coatings rated for ground contact and coastal exposure.
Interior Finish: Trim screws with small heads for baseboards, crown molding, and cabinet installation.
