Gosforth Handyman | Can you use normal screws outdoors? @GosforthHandyman | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Over the last 5 years I've been doing a bit of a test to see how quickly normal screws rust. Is it worth spending extra money on stainless steel screws and the like for outdoor use? Over the years I've seen a lot of screws specifically designed for outdoor use that have rusted to hell. At the same time my bog standard Screwfix woodscrews seem to be just fine outdoors. Anyway, here are my thoughts and here are all the vids in this series:
