Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Self-drilling hex screws are the fastest way to attach fence hardware to steel or aluminum framing; drive them at moderate speed to avoid stripping the point before it bites. Match the black finish to black hardware for a consistent look. Use a longer screw if fastening through two thicker metal layers.
Wear eye protection when driving self-drilling screws, as metal shavings and snapped bits can fly during installation.
