If you're a joiner, DIYer, landscaper, or builder, choosing the correct fixings is crucial for your projects' strength, durability, and longevity. Whether you're constructing a deck, fencing, garden sleepers, or timber framing, coach screws offer a reliable and heavy-duty solution for secure and lasting installations.

At Next Day Fixings, we provide a complete range of coach screws, ensuring you get the right fixing for your project. Plus, with our nationwide next-day delivery, you’ll never have to wait long to get your supplies.

Coach screws are heavy-duty fasteners designed for securing timber, masonry (with plugs), and man-made boards. Unlike regular screws, they feature a hexagonal head, allowing for better torque application and a firmer grip when tightened with a wrench, spanner, or power tool.

✅ Heavy-duty hold – Perfect for load-bearing applications.

✅ Corrosion-resistant options – Available in zinc-plated and yellow passivated finishes.

✅ Versatile use – Ideal for timber-to-timber, brick (with plugs), and outdoor structures.

✅ Easy installation – A socket wrench or power tool can be driven in.

Traditional coach screws are the go-to option for timber-to-timber fixings and ironmongery attachments. These screws are made from zinc-plated steel, offering a solid grip and a moderate level of corrosion resistance.

✔ Hex Head – Ensures a secure grip with a wrench or socket driver.

✔ Zinc-Plated Finish – Provides basic corrosion resistance (best for dry environments).

✔ Coarse Thread – Designed for strong penetration into timber.

✔ Thread Length – Covers approximately two-thirds of the screw length.

✔ Best for Hardwood, softwood, and masonry (with plugs).

✔ Corrosion Rating – 1 (Suitable for dry indoor environments).

🔨 Timber-to-timber connections – Great for framing, fencing, and joinery work.

🛠 Ironmongery attachments – Securing hinges, brackets, and structural reinforcements.

🏠 Masonry applications – Use with nylon plugs for anchoring into brick or concrete.

⚠ Not ideal for damp or outdoor conditions – Over time, moisture exposure can cause rusting.
⚠ Requires more force to install – May need pre-drilling, especially in hardwoods.

Sizes Available: 6.0 x 25mm to 10.0 x 200mm
Sold in bags, packs, and bulk boxes.

For professional-grade strength, speed, and efficiency, Advanced Coach Screws are the modern alternative to traditional options. These screws are 3x faster to install and designed for power tools, making them a must-have for large-scale projects.

✔ Hex Flange Head – Provides a larger surface area for better torque distribution.

✔ Single Slash Point – Cuts into wood easily, reducing the need for pilot holes.

✔ Zinc & Yellow Passivated Finish – Offers enhanced corrosion resistance.

✔ Stronger Hold – Optimized for softwood, hardwood, masonry (with plugs), and man-made boards.

🛠 Decking, pergolas & outdoor structures ensure long-lasting durability.

🏡 Timber frame buildings – Superior strength for load-bearing applications.

🔩 Masonry fixings – Works with plugs for concrete and brick.

✅ 3x Faster Installation – This saves time and effort.
✅ No Need for Pilot Holes in Softwood – The aggressive tip makes driving easy.
✅ Stronger Corrosion Resistance – Can withstand damp conditions better than traditional zinc-plated screws.
✅ Designed for Power Tools – Works effortlessly with cordless drills & impact drivers.

Sizes Available: 6.0 x 25mm to 12.0 x 160mm

For general timber fixings, Traditional Coach Screws work well, but for outdoor, landscaping, and long-term durability, we highly recommend the Advanced Coach Screw.

✔ Drill or Impact Driver

✔ Socket Driver or Wrench

✔ Pilot Bit (for hardwoods)

1️⃣ Mark the drilling point on the timber or masonry.

2️⃣ Drill a pilot hole (if working with hardwood or masonry).

3️⃣ Insert the coach screw and use a socket driver to tighten.

4️⃣ Ensure the screw is flush with the surface for a strong hold.
