I agree, for most outdoor furniture, I have gone to 100% SS fasteners.
Cost for something like an Adirondack charge going stainless kicks the
price up probably less than a couple dollars, and eliminates virutally
ALL possibility of staining.

Hi All
I've always used these screws for out door furniture with very good
results
after 10-15 years. Tried to get some for ala Norm adirondack chairs I'm
building for a nephew. Local yards and the borg say these screws are being
phased out in favor of a coated screw like GripRite. Question is are they
as
good or better for non-staining ?

I've used them on decking and they seem OK. On furniture, I've been using
stainless steel. You can get some nice square drive SS screws from both Lee
Valley and McFeelys.
