As spring turns to summer, construction ramps up across North America — and deck season is officially here. Whether you’re a professional contractor managing multiple builds or a skilled DIYer tackling your backyard retreat, one thing is certain: the right fasteners make all the difference.
That’s why GRK Fasteners is proud to support your projects with a full lineup of innovative, engineered fasteners built to make your work easier and your results stronger. From structural screws to composite deck solutions, GRK offers premium products that outperform traditional fasteners in speed, holding power, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic finish.
And just in time for the season, we’re thrilled to announce a major convenience upgrade: the GRK AugerBolt™ is now available for purchase directly on Amazon, making it easier than ever to get the hardware you need, when and where you need it.
Let’s take a look at how GRK Fasteners — and especially the new AugerBolt — can elevate your decking projects this season.
Meet the AugerBolt™ – Now on Amazon
One of the biggest pain points in structural fastening is time and complexity. The GRK AugerBolt™ solves both with one of the most efficient and innovative through-bolt solutions on the market.
Designed for post-to-beam connections and other heavy-duty fastening applications, the AugerBolt combines a high-performance structural screw with a built-in washer and tip engineered to drill and fasten in one step. There’s no need for pre-drilling or the use of separate bolts, washers, and nuts. Just drive it in and you’re done.
Key Benefits:
- Fast, One-Step Installation: Saves time on every connection
- High Holding Power: Ideal for ledger boards, deck posts, and multi-ply beam construction
- Code-Compliant Coating: The Climatek™ coating meets AC257 code for use in treated lumber
- Now Available on Amazon: Buy online, ship anywhere – no need to visit the store
With the AugerBolt now available on Amazon, your deck project just got a major productivity upgrade. Whether you’re working on a job site or preparing for a weekend build, you can get GRK’s structural strength delivered right to your door.
The GRK Lineup for Decking Season
Every deck is different — but the need for durable, fast-installing, weather-resistant fasteners is always the same. GRK’s family of products is engineered for every aspect of deck construction, from substructure to surface finish.
Here’s a closer look at some of GRK’s best-in-class decking solutions for this season:
Deck Elite™ – Built for Wood Decking
GRK Deck Elite™ screws are the go-to fastener for natural wood deck boards. Engineered for clean finishes and fast drives, they’re designed to eliminate splitting, cam-outs, and unsightly mushrooming.
Why Deck Elite™ Stands Out:
- Star Drive Recess: Ensures a positive grip and prevents stripping
- Self-Countersinking Head: Creates a flush, clean finish every time
- No Pre-Drilling Required: Saves you valuable time
- Color-Matched Finishes: Blend seamlessly with tan deck boards
Available in a variety of lengths and packages, Deck Elite™ screws provide a strong, smooth finish that contractors and homeowners alike can count on.
Kameleon™ – The Composite Decking Solution
When it comes to composite or PVC decking, aesthetics are everything. That’s why GRK developed Kameleon™ screws, featuring a specialized head design that blends invisibly with composite deck boards and prevents unsightly mushrooming.
Ideal For:
- Trex Select™ and similar composite decking
- PVC deck boards
- Color-matching to common deck tones: Grey, Brown, Tan
Performance Features:
- Fibre Trap Technology: Eliminates mushrooming on composite boards
- Reverse Thread & CEE Thread™: Reduces installation torque and improves hold
- Corrosion-Resistant Coating: AC257 code-approved for treated lumber
Kameleon™ is the perfect choice for contractors who want high-performance fastening and a flawless surface finish on composite decks.
RSS™ – Rugged Structural Screws for Heavy-Duty Connections
At the heart of every great deck is a solid structure. That’s where GRK’s RSS™ (Rugged Structural Screws) come in. These engineered fasteners replace lag bolts and offer incredible strength with much easier installation.
Ideal for:
- Ledger boards
- Beam-to-post connections
- Multi-ply beams and joists
- General heavy-duty wood-to-wood fastening
Highlights:
- Integrated Washer Head: Maximizes clamping force
- Self-Tapping Tip: No pre-drilling needed in most applications
- Code-Approved Coating: Climatek™ meets AC257 for corrosion resistance
The RSS is a contractor favorite for any structural connection where strength and speed matter most.
