Use Drywall Screws Outdoors

Drywall screws
are coarse wood screws most installers use to attach drywall to studs in a home. The screws tend to be steel and coated with a material that helps prevent rust that will corrode or eat away the screw. While attaching drywall is the most common application for these screws, you can use them in other projects due to the screw's versatility. Outdoor projects may be a popular secondary option for drywall screws as the coating on the screw helps prevent moisture from ruining the screws.


Instructions


1. Look for outdoor projects that require screws. Gather a bunch of drywall screws for the project.


2. Hold a drywall screw against the wood or area you need to connect. Drive the screw into the material with a cordless drill.


3. Add more drywall screws as necessary, spacing the screws 6 to 8 inches apart.
