Fasteners are important
While we do not carry a wide assortment of fasteners at Mill Outlet, we do try to make careful choices about what we do carry.First of all we carry bronze ceramic coated screws in a variety of sizes. 1 5/8 Trim head for attaching fence boards, 2 1/2″ and 3″ Trim head for fastening either 1″ or 1 1/2″ deck boards. In addition to being bronze ceramic coated these screws are also “Star Drive” which eliminates spin out and reduces the amount of pressure required while driving screws. The small trim head nearly disappears when driven beneath the surface of a board and the coating is compatible with corrosive pressure treated lumber.
It doesn’t stop there since we also offer a line up of standard headed screws in 2 1/2″, 3″ and 4″. These can be used for any sort of construction purposes that requires an easy to drive, strong and corrosion resistant fastener.
All of these Bronze ceramic coated screws are available in handy reusable 1#, 5# buckets and bulk containers for larger jobs.
On another completely different note we also stock a complete line of the Camo hidden fastening system. This is a combination of ideas I wish I had thought of. It begins with the Camo tool which positions the screw angle perfectly every time while spacing the boards as well. The screws have a unique chisel point which drills through the deck board instead of splitting its way. These screws also Have locking reverse threads at the top and nearly invisible trim heads that are driven by a tiny star drive bit. They are Ceramic coated or for maximum longevity stainless steel with a black coating for camouflage.

Last year we were approached and asked to try Kiln Dried Incense Cedar for our decking program. We bought in and promoted it all summer long and into the winter with only favorable results. Customers were happy and we had no issues arise.
So when deciding what to do for this summer building season it was clear that it was time to double down on Incense cedar decking.
What is Incense Cedar? First of all it is one of 4 species of trees included in the grading group “Western Cedars” So along with Western Red Cedar, Alaska Yellow Cedar and Port Orford Cedar it shares the same characteristics such as rot and insect damage, strength and hardness. Further, it is lighter in color and has mainly smaller knots.
We are now stocking Kiln Dried, Premium Appearance Incense Cedar in
5/4×4 8′,10′, 12′,14′,16′ Lengths
5/4×6 8′, 10′, 12′, 16′ Lengths
2×4 8′, 10′, 12′ Lengths
2×6 8′, 10′, 12′, 14′, 16′ Lengths
4×4 8′, 10′ and 12′ Lengths
4×4 Clear in 6′ and 8′ Lengths
And Finally, what really makes Incense Cedar work for us all is the fact that it is very competitively priced, on average 20% less than comparable western red Cedar products

Of course this is something we would have, we love western red cedar and we love seafood, salmon to be specific.
The pungent taste of Western Red Cedar smoke clinging to a fresh salmon fillet is a culinary experience you must enjoy. Once you have, you will be coming back again and again for more. We are not out back cutting fence boards to make these planks though, they are an overstock at a national manufacturer where we just happen to buy a lot of our Cedar lumber. They are surfaced and kiln dried with lots of the natural aromatic oils that give planked seafood it’s delicious taste. At $2.50 each they are cheap even for hobby lumber and less than half of the price they would normally sell for through normal outlets. Load up now, give then to your friends, but most important, gobble up some delicious smokey seafood
