Buying advice

When buying fasteners, consider the material (stainless for outdoors, zinc for indoor), thread type (coarse for wood, fine for metal), head style (flat for flush, pan for general), and length (should penetrate at least 1 inch into the base material). For structural loads, use lag screws or bolts with nuts. Avoid cheap screws that strip easily.
