We're excited to introduce a brand-new product to our range: TIMco Advanced coach screws. 


If you work in landscaping, construction, or you’re planning a landscaping project in your garden, these screws will change the way you work. Strong, easy to use, and built to save time, here's why they deserve a place in your toolkit. 


What makes them different from standard coach screws?


TIMco Advanced coach screws save you time, help you finish faster, and take the hassle out of fixing. Unlike standard coach screws, there's no need for a pilot hole. The self-drilling single-thread and single-slash point gives an immediate start and reduces torque as the screw enters the material, so you drive straight in with no prep work required. 


A few other features that set them apart:



  • TIMco Advanced coach screws have a flange head with a built-in washer, which spreads the load across the timber surface, reducing the risk of damage.

  • The self-drilling thread delivers high pull-out resistance, meaning the fixing holds firm under load.

  • The screw design prevents your timber from splitting, even when you drive close to the edge.


How to use TIMco Advanced coach screws


Attach the magnetic socket adapter (included in every box) to your power drill, and drive the screw into the material. The whole process can be done one-handed, which is ideal when you're up a ladder or working in a tight area. 


A size for every job


TIMco Advanced coach screws are available in a range of sizes, with diameters from 6mm to 12mm, and lengths from 25mm up to 160mm. 


If you're looking for an everyday size, TIMco Advanced coach screws 6 x 25mm are ideal. It's well-suited to a wide range of outdoor timber work, from fence rails and garden furniture to decking subframes and raised beds.


Perfect for landscaping: faster fixing on heavy timber


When you're working on repeat timber jobs, speed and consistency make all the difference. TIMco Advanced coach screws are designed for outdoor use, particularly on heavy timber, and you can use them to join two pieces of heavy wood, secure metalwork to timber, or fix timber to masonry such as concrete and brick (with a nylon plug).  


Applications include:



  • Fence posts and rails

  • Decking subframes

  • Sleepers and raised bed construction

  • Pergolas and gazebos

  • Garden room construction

  • Benches, tables, swings, and play equipment

  • Animal shelters

  • Timber roofing joists

  • Timber frame construction


Versatile across all materials


One of the most useful features of TIMco Advanced coach screws is that you don't need a different fixing for each substrate. They work across softwood, hardwood, and masonry, so a single box keeps you covered on jobs where materials change from one section to the next. For fixing into concrete, brick, or stone, simply use a nylon plug first.


Are TIMco Advanced coach screws weatherproof?


The TIMco Advanced coach screw holds up in all conditions. The yellow zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, so the screws stay secure and look good after years of exposure to rain, frost, and soil.
