I'm making some new tee marker posts for my golf club. Posts are varnished redwood with signs screwed on indicating hole number, hole length etc. Ques tion is: what screws to use? Size of screw No3 x 1/2", or 3mm x 12mm. My th oughts are Brass for corrosion resitance, round head 'cos the holes in the signs are not really big enough to countersink but could do if necessary, P osidrive 'cos I've got nearly 300 screws to drive. BUT....I can't find any like this! So, I'm going to have to compromise on material, head shape or r ecess.
Any thoughts? I've read that stainless steel are a bit dodgy when you come to take them out as they can shear off. How does zinc passivated, or black jappaned compare to brass? Would any of the new proprietary types be worthw hile (Spax etc)?
Thanks for any advice.
