Hi Geoff, I’m down the road from you in Buderim. The screws that worked well for me were square drive ss decking screws (type 17) Zenith 8G x 50mm. from Bunnings.

cheers

Thanks for that I will probably go for the Torx Stainless Screws, find them less likely to strip out than the square head

I had to put 3 fake flows together for a bloke. He supplied these screws that went in beautifully, however I had to buy the appropriate screw gun to insert them.

Good luck with your build, cheers
