I think the real problem is the new PT lumber. It eats galvanized screws

I think someof the problem is mislabeling of galvanized screws. About 16 years
ago,I built a redwood deck on this house, using double dipped galvanized. For
the past year, I've been replacing deck boards that rotted around the rusted
screws. I'm using stainless from McFeely's this time.
