Probably. But why use screws ? I'd prefer to whip out my nailgun and fire in some 50mm brads at every 450mm. Less noticeable than screw heads. As long as the existing decking is secured down hard , nails should be fine.

Could always run a bead of silicon as well. Don't know about you but I am using silicon as an adhesive more and more these days in certain situations. Re: radical idea for deck rejuvenation Thoughts please. 12Sep 28, 2016 12:29 pm Horses for courses. I prefer to use a good grade construction adhesive like Sikkaflex where glue is needed and only use Silicon where a sealant is necessary. I must admit though, silicon does stick like the proverbial to a blanket. Stewie You must be new to the internet. You're also the only person anyone here has ever heard of washing their garage wall.
